Alignment of Serially Acquired Slices using a Global Energy Function

چکیده
| An accurate, computationally eÆcient and fully-automated algorithm for the alignment of 2D serially acquired sections forming a 3D volume is presented. The method accounts for the main shortcomings of 3D image alignment: corrupted data (cuts and tears), dissimilarities or discontinuities between slices, non parallel or missing slices. The approach relies on the optimization of a global energy function, based on the object shape, measuring the similarity between a slice and its neighborhood in the 3D volume. Slice similarity is computed using the distance transform measure in both directions. No particular direction is privileged in the method avoiding global o sets, biases in the estimation and error propagation. The method was evaluated on real images (medical and biological 3D data) and the experimental results demonstrated the method's accuracy as reconstuction errors are less than 1 degree in rotation and less than 1 pixel in translation.

متن کاملA robust statistics-based global energy function for the alignment of serially acquired autoradiographic sections.
Autoradiographic analysis of the functional changes occurring in the rat brain are most often performed on coronal sections that allow a good insight into the events occurring at the structural level but lacks the 3D context which is necessary to fully understand the involvement of the brain structures in specific situations like focal seizures with or without generalization. Therefore a robust...
