An interesting problem in pattern recognition is that of image registration, which plays an important role in many vision-based recognition and motion analysis applications. Of particular interest among registration problems are multimodal registration problems, where the images exist in different feature spaces. State-of-the-art phased-based approaches to multimodal image registration methods ...

The existing state-of-the-art point descriptor relies on structure information only, which omits the texture information. However, is crucial for our humans to distinguish a scene part. Moreover, current learning-based descriptors are all black boxes unclear how original points contribute final descriptor. This paper proposes new multimodal fusion method generate cloud registration by consideri...

In recent years, mutual information has developed as a popular image registration measure especially in multimodality image registration. For different modality medical images, the contour of tissues or organs is similarity. In this paper, an effective new registration method of the multimodal medical images based on the contour mutual information is proposed. Firstly, get the contour through v...

We tackle here the problem of multimodal image nonrigid registration, which is of prime importance in remote sensing and medical imaging. The difficulties encountered by classical registration approaches include feature design and slow optimization by gradient descent. By analyzing these methods, we note the significance of the notion of scale. We design easy-to-train, fully-convolutional neura...

In the past decade, information theory has been studied extensively in computational imaging. In particular, image matching by maximizing mutual information has been shown to yield good results in multimodal image registration. However, there have been few rigorous studies to date that investigate the statistical aspect of the resulting deformation fields. Different regularization techniques ha...

This paper presents a method based on articulated models for the registration of spine data extracted from multimodal medical images of patients with scoliosis. With the ultimate aim being the development of a complete geometrical model of the torso of a scoliotic patient, this work presents a method for the registration of vertebral column data using 3D magnetic resonance images (MRI) acquired...
