 Abstract:

Registration is a way to find meaningful correspondences between points in one image to points in another image or a group of images. It attempts to align images, such that common structures match. In conventional pairwise intensity-based registration, we usually attempt to find the optimum of registration objective function. We investigated whether there is structural information present in the shape of the optimum. Such structures might be used to improve the performance of registration. By using simple structures (i.e., an edge or corner structure) and Mutual Information (MI) objective function, we perturbed one image locally with a diffeomorphism, and found interesting structure in the shape of the quality of fit function.
