Image Registration: A Review of Elastic Registration Methods Applied to Medical Imaging

Image registration is mapping different images of the same scene which have undergone changes due to time, position or inherent changes in the image. In medical images these may be due to motion artifact, breathing, heartbeat, etc which are difficult to register only by rigid registration and need a local transformation to correct the deformations that are elastic in nature at the local level. ...

Medical image registration: a review.

This paper presents a review of automated image registration methodologies that have been used in the medical field. The aim of this paper is to be an introduction to the field, provide knowledge on the work that has been developed and to be a suitable reference for those who are looking for registration methods for a specific application. The registration methodologies under review are classif...

Image Registration with Applications to Medical Imaging

Image registration is ubiquitous in Computer Vision, Medical Imaging and other fields of Science and Engineering. Image registration maybe defined as, given a pair of images possibly acquired from different view points under varying image acquisition parameters or from two different sensors, to estimate the unknown coordinate transformation that would align the images. The coordinate transforma...

A Review of Medical Image Registration

Differential Elastic Image Registration

We have applied techniques from differential motion estimation to the problem of automatic elastic registration of medical images. This method models the mapping between images as a locally affine but globally smooth warp. The mapping also explicitly accounts for variations in image intensities. This approach is simple and highly effective across a broad range of medical images. We show the eff...
