Abstract
A template-matching approach to registration of volumetric images is described. The process automatically selects about a dozen highly detailed and unique templates (cubic or spherical subvolumes) from the target volume and locates the templates in the reference volume. The centroids of the 'best' four correspondences are then used to determine the transformation matrix that resamples the target volume to overlay the reference volume. Different similarity measures used in template matching are discussed and preliminary results are presented. The proposed registration method produces a median error of 2.8 mm when registering Venderbilt image data sets, with average registration time of 2.5 minutes on a 400 MHz PC.

A new image registration scheme based on curvature scale space curve matching

TL;DR: A new image registration scheme for remote sensing images is proposed that is more robust and converges faster than registration of the original image pair and a new curve-matching algorithm based on curvature scale space is developed.

Intensity-based robust similarity for multimodal image registration

TL;DR: In this article, a new intensity-based similarity metric was proposed for the registration of multimodal images, which combines the robust estimation with both the forward and inverse transformation to reduce the negative effects of outliers in the images.

Image registration using Markov random coefficient and geometric transformation fields

TL;DR: A Bayesian formulation is presented in which a likelihood term is defined using an observation model based on coefficient and geometric fields, which allows one to find optimal estimators by minimizing an energy function in terms of both fields, making the registration between the images possible.

Affine image registration guided by particle filter

TL;DR: A particle filter method, also known as sequential Monte Carlo strategy, is proposed to settle difficulties by estimating the probability distribution function (PDF) of the parameters of affine transformations and proved to be robust to noise, partial data and initialising parameters.

Image Registration Guided by Particle Filter

TL;DR: This work has adapted the Particle Filter to carry out the registration of unimodal and multimodal images, and performed a series of preliminary tests, where the proposed method has proved to be efficient, robust, and easy to implement.

Random sample consensus: a paradigm for model fitting with applications to image analysis and automated cartography

TL;DR: New results are derived on the minimum number of landmarks needed to obtain a solution, and algorithms are presented for computing these minimum-landmark solutions in closed form that provide the basis for an automatic system that can solve the Location Determination Problem under difficult viewing.

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.

Visual pattern recognition by moment invariants

TL;DR: It is shown that recognition of geometrical patterns and alphabetical characters independently of position, size and orientation can be accomplished and it is indicated that generalization is possible to include invariance with parallel projection.

Multimodality image registration by maximization of mutual information

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that subvoxel accuracy with respect to the stereotactic reference solution can be achieved completely automatically and without any prior segmentation, feature extraction, or other preprocessing steps which makes this method very well suited for clinical applications.
