  • Fast parametric non-rigid image registration based on feature correspondences
    Patent number: 7596283
    Abstract: A method and system for non-rigidly registering a fixed to a moving image utilizing a B-Spline based free form deformation (FFD) model is disclosed. The methodology utilizes sparse feature correspondences to estimate an elastic deformation field in a closed form. In a multi-resolution manner, the method is able to recover small to large non-rigid deformations. The resulting deformation field is globally smooth and guarantees one-to-one mapping between the images being registered.
