Anatomical Structures

The image registration is a very important task in image processing. In the field of medical imaging, it is used to compare the anatomical structures of two or more images taken at different time to track for example the evolution of a disease. Intensity-based techniques are widely used in the multi-modal registration. To have the best registration, a cost function expressing the similarity between these images is maximized. The registration problem is reduced to the optimization of a cost function. We propose to use neighborhood meta-heuristics (tabu search, simulated annealing) and a meta-heuristic population (genetic algorithms). An evaluation step is necessary to estimate the quality of registration obtained. In this paper we present some results of medical image registration

Landmark correspondence plays a decisive role in the landmark-based multi-modality image registration. We combine RPM (Robust Point Matching) and improved Mean Shift to estimate the correspondence of landmarks in images. We improve the target mode and bandwidth used in Mean Shift, and we also perform RPM to estimate the initial landmark correspondence. Next, we use improved Mean Shift to adjust corresponding relations between points. Our method is benefit to make corresponding relations between points more accurate and impels the convergence process of RPM to be related to the image content. Experimental results show that our method can achieve accurate registration of the multi-modal images.
