ITK/Release 4/Enhancing Image Registration Framework

Enhancing Image Registration Framework

Goals

• Review v4 registration plans and progress.

• Catalog target use cases.

• Discuss design changes in core itk to support these enhancements.

• Wishlist items beyond standard use cases, e.g. projective transform (itkPerspective3DTransform).

Discussions

• Separate sampling and metric computation

• Separate computation of derivative components :

e.g. Maximize MI( I(x) , J(T(x)) ) by gradient methods:

  \partial Metric /  \partial Image  \partial Image / \partial Transform \partial Transform / \partial x 

• Add feature based registration techniques (SIFT (patented?), SURF, etc)

Refactoring of optimization framework
