Elastic Model Based Non-rigid Registration Incorporation Statistical Shape Information

چکیده
This paper describes a new method of non-rigid registration using the combined power of elastic and statistical shape models. The transformations are constrained to be consistent with a physical model of elasticity to maintain smoothness and continuity. A Bayesian formulation, based on this model, on an intensity similarity measure, and on statistical shape information embedded in corresponding boundary points, is employed to find a more accurate and robust non-rigid registration. A dense set of forces arises from the intensity similarity measure to accommodate complex anatomical details. A sparse set of forces constrains consistency with statistical shape models derived from a training set. A number of experiments were performed on both synthetic and real medical images of the brain and heart to evaluate the approach. It is shown that statistical boundary shape information significantly augments and improves elastic model based non-rigid registration.

متن کاملApproximating Thin-Plate Splines for Elastic Registration: Integration of Landmark Errors and Orientation Attributes
We introduce an approach to elastic registration of tomographic images based on thin-plate splines. Central to this scheme is a well-de ned minimizing functional for which the solution can be stated analytically. In this work, we consider the integration of anisotropic landmark errors as well as additional attributes at landmarks. As attributes we use orientations at landmarks and we incorporat...
متن کاملA Variational PDE Based Level Set Method for a Simultaneous Segmentation and Non-rigid Registration
A new variational PDE based level set method for a simultaneous image segmentation and non-rigid registration using prior shape and intensity information is presented. The segmentation is obtained by finding a non-rigid registration to the prior shape. The non-rigid registration consists of both a global rigid transformation and a local non-rigid deformation. In this model, a prior shape is use...
