Method for registering deformable images using random Markov fields

摘要

A method registers a source image with a target image, wherein the images are deformable, by first measuring dissimilarity between the source image and the target image. The dissimilarity minimized using a discrete energy function. At multiple scales, multi-scale Markov random field registration is applied to the source and target images to determine a deformation vector field. Then, the target image is warped according to the deformation field vector to obtain a warped target mage registered to the source image.
