Automatic Retinal Registration using Global Optimization Techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a new automatic scheme to register retinal images is presented and is currently tested in a clinical environment. The scheme considers the suitability and efficiency of different image transformation models and function optimization techniques, following an initial preprocessing stage. Three different transformation models -Affine, Bilinear and Projectiveas well as two global optimization techniques, Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithmsare investigated and compared in terms of accuracy and efficiency. The registration of 26 pairs of Fluoroscein Angiography (FA) and Indocyanine Green Chorioangiography (ICG) images with the corresponding Red Free (RF) retinal images, showed the superiority of combining Genetic Algorithms with the Affine and Bilinear transformation models.

Automatic Retinal Image Registration
In this paper, different automatic registration schemes based on different optimization techniques in conjunction with different similarity measures are compared in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Results from every optimization procedure are quantitatively evaluated with respect to the manual registration, which is the standard registration method used in clinical practice. The comparison ha...

P. A. Narayana, R. He University of Texas Medical School at Houston, Houston, Texas, United States SYNOPSIS A fully automatic technique for retrospective alignment of rodent MR brain images is described. It relies on global optimization of mutual information (MI), using a multi-resolution paradigm for improved efficiency. Conventional optimization techniques often fail because of distortions an...
متن کاملA Novel Automated Approach of Multi-modality Retinal Image Registration and Fusion
Biomedical image registration and fusion are usually scene dependent, and require intensive computational effort. A novel automated approach of feature-based control point detection and area-based registration and fusion of retinal images has been successfully designed and developed. The new algorithm, which is reliable and time-efficient, has an automatic adaptation from frame to frame with fe...
متن کاملSatellite Image Registration Using Nature Inspired Techniques
Automatic satellite image registration for multi-sensor images is becoming increasingly important to aid in flood damage assessment. We consider two images, the one before flood (optical image) and the other during flood (SAR image) in the registration process. The objective is to maximize the similarity metric (of these two images) using information theoretic measures such as Mutual Informatio...
متن کاملRobust linear registration of CT images using random regression forests
Global linear registration is a necessary first step for many different tasks in medical image analysis. Comparing longitudinal studies 1 , cross-modality fusion 2 , and many other applications depend heavily on the success of the automatic registration. The robustness and efficiency of this step is crucial as it affects all subsequent operations. Most common techniques cast the linear registra...
