An efficient locally affine framework for the smooth registration of anatomical structures

TLDR
This article presents a method to introduce more coherence in the registration by using fewer degrees of freedom than with a dense registration, using a set of affine transformations, which are optimized together in a very efficient manner.

Deformable Medical Image Registration: A Survey

TL;DR: This paper attempts to give an overview of deformable registration methods, putting emphasis on the most recent advances in the domain, and provides an extensive account of registration techniques in a systematic manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Segmentation of organs-at-risks in head and neck CT images using convolutional neural networks

TL;DR: This work proposed the first deep learning‐based algorithm, for segmentation of OARs in HaN CT images, and compared its performance against state‐of‐the‐art automated segmentation algorithms, commercial software, and interobserver variability.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Registration-Based Propagation Framework for Automatic Whole Heart Segmentation of Cardiac MRI

TL;DR: This paper proposes a fully automatic whole heart segmentation framework based on two new image registration algorithms: the locally affine registration method (LARM) and the free-form deformations with adaptive control point status (ACPS FFDs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of an atlas-based automatic segmentation software for the delineation of brain organs at risk in a radiation therapy clinical context

TL;DR: These tests demonstrated that this ABAS is a robust and reliable tool for automatic delineation of large structures under clinical conditions in the authors' daily practice, even though the small structures must continue to be delineated manually by an expert.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Fast and Log-Euclidean Polyaffine Framework for Locally Linear Registration

TL;DR: The results presented here on real 3D locally affine registration suggest that the novel framework provides a general and efficient way of fusing local rigid or affine deformations into a global invertible transformation without introducing artifacts, independently of the way local deformations are first estimated.

A method for registration of 3-D shapes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a general-purpose representation-independent method for the accurate and computationally efficient registration of 3D shapes including free-form curves and surfaces, based on the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, which requires only a procedure to find the closest point on a geometric entity to a given point.

Nonrigid registration using free-form deformations: application to breast MR images

TL;DR: The results clearly indicate that the proposed nonrigid registration algorithm is much better able to recover the motion and deformation of the breast than rigid or affine registration algorithms.
Journal ArticleDOI

A survey of image registration techniques

TL;DR: This paper organizes this material by establishing the relationship between the variations in the images and the type of registration techniques which can most appropriately be applied, and establishing a framework for understanding the merits and relationships between the wide variety of existing techniques.

A two-dimensional interpolation function for irregularly-spaced data

TL;DR: In many fields using empirical areal data there arises a need for interpolating from irregularly-spaced data to produce a continuous surface as discussed by the authors, and it is assumed that a unique number (such as rainfall in meteorology, or altitude in geography) is associated with each data point.
Journal ArticleDOI

Least Median of Squares Regression

TL;DR: In this paper, the median of the squared residuals is used to resist the effect of nearly 50% of contamination in the data in the special case of simple least square regression, which corresponds to finding the narrowest strip covering half of the observations.
