Point-Based Registration Assuming Affine Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Registration is a fundamental task in image processing. Its purpose is to find a geometrical transformation that relates the points of an image to their corresponding points of another image. The determination of the optimal transformation depends on the types of variations between the images. In this paper we propose a robust method based on two sets of points representing the images. One–to–one correspondence is assumed between these two sets. Our approach finds global affine transformation between the sets of points and can be used in any arbitrary dimension k ≥ 1. A sufficient existence condition for a unique solution is given and proven. Our method can be used to solve various registration problems emerged in numerous fields, including medical image processing, remotely sensed data processing, and computer vision.

Multi-dimensional respiratory motion tracking from markerless optical surface imaging based on deformable mesh registration.
Real-time optical surface imaging systems offer a non-invasive way to monitor intra-fraction motion of a patient's thorax surface during radiotherapy treatments. Due to lack of point correspondence in dynamic surface acquisition, such systems cannot currently provide 3D motion tracking at specific surface landmarks, as available in optical technologies based on passive markers. We propose to ap...
متن کاملLevel set motion assisted non-rigid 3D image registration
Medical imaging applications of rigid and non-rigid elastic deformable image registration are undergoing wide scale development. Our approach determines image deformation maps through a hierarchical process, from global to local scales. Vemuri (2000) reported a registration method, based on levelset evolution theory, to morph an image along the motion gradient until it deforms to the reference ...
متن کاملAccurate image registration by combining feature-based matching and GLS-based motion estimation
In this paper, an accurate Image Registration method is presented. It combines a feature-based method, which allows to recover large motion magnitudes between images, with a Generalized Least-Squares (GLS) motion estimation technique which is able to estimate motion parameters in an accurate manner. The feature-based method gives an initial estimation of the motion parameters, which will be ref...
متن کاملHierarchical adaptive local affine registration for fast and robust respiratory motion estimation
Non-rigid image registration techniques are commonly used to estimate complex tissue deformations in medical imaging. A range of non-rigid registration algorithms have been proposed, but they typically have high computational complexity. To reduce this complexity, combinations of multiple less complex deformations have been proposed such as hierarchical techniques which successively split the n...
متن کاملMulti-view Point Cloud Registration Using Affine Shape Distributions
Registration is crucial for the reconstruction of multi-view single plane illumination microscopy. By using fluorescent beads as fiduciary markers, this registration problem can be reduced to the problem of point clouds registration. We present a novel method for registering point clouds across views. This is based on a new local geometric descriptor affine shape distribution to represent the r...
