Hello Massi,<div><br></div><div>Can you tell what do you want the registration for? Are the two images from the same modality? That may help narrowing the choice.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, since you reformulated your problem as geometric, you are left with Landmarks-based methods which are the classic example of geometric-driven registration. In such a setting, a number of anatomical key points (landmarks) are identified both in the source and the target images and a transformation that aims to maximize a similarity metric usually based on the distance between these structures is to be recovered.<br>
The main limitation of these methods related to the selection and extraction of landmarks, while their main strength is the simplicity of the optimization process.</div><div>Nevertheless, when dealing with intensities (ex. images from the same modality), methods that seek for “visual” correspondences between the source and the target image can be considered. Here an explicit photometric correspondence of the image intensities is to be identified.</div>

<br>
I never done any image registration before, it's my first time. I have read<br>
a little bit about Paul Viola & how he focused on the mutual information<br>
between the source and the target image... pretty complicated.<br>
Actually, I have a contour of an object (.mesh) and PET images (dicom) of<br>
the same object. I want to coregistrate them and I don't know how and where<br>
to start.<br>
<br>
My first Idea was to generate a volume from the PET images, extract the<br>
surface and mesh it. after, I hope to find something how to coregistrate a<br>
mesh file with another mesh file!<br>
<br>
<br>
Please any advice or hint will be welcomed!!!<br>
<br>
Thx<br>
