A New Class of Distance Measures for Registration of Tubular Models to Image Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In some registration applications additional user knowledge is available, which can improve and accelerate the registration process, especially for non-rigid registration. This is particularly important in the transfer of pre-operative plans to the operating room, e.g. for navigation. In case of tubular structures, such as vessels, a geometric representation can be extracted via segmentation and skeletonization. We present a new class of distance measures based on global filter kernels to compare such models efficiently with image data. The approach is validated in a non-rigid registration application with Powerdoppler ultrasound data.

Contourlet-Based Edge Extraction for Image Registration
Image registration is a crucial step in most image processing tasks for which the final result is achieved from a combination of various resources. In general, the majority of registration methods consist of the following four steps: feature extraction, feature matching, transform modeling, and finally image resampling. As the accuracy of a registration process is highly dependent to the fe...

Mutual information (MI) is a widely used similarity metric for multimodality image registration. However, it involves an extremely high computational time especially when it is applied to volume images. Moreover, its robustness is affected by existence of local maxima. The multi-resolution pyramid approaches have been proposed to speed up the registration process and increase the accuracy of th...

متن کاملNew Pseudo-CT Generation Approach from Magnetic Resonance Imaging using a Local Texture Descriptor
Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...
