- Abstract:
- Defining a suitable similarity measure is a crucial step in (medical) image registration tasks. A common problem with frequently used intensity-based image registration algorithms is that they assume intensities of different pixels are independent of each other that could lead to low registration performance especially in the presence of spatially-varying intensity distortions, because they ignore the complex interactions between the pixel intensities. Motivated by this problem, in this paper we present a novel similarity measure which takes into account nonstationarity of the pixels intensity and complex spatially varying intensity distortions in mono-modal settings. Experimental results on benchmark data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed similarity measure for image registration tasks
