Robust image registration for multiple rigid transformed images

摘要

Systems and methods for multiple image registration of images of a scene or an object. Receiving image data, the image data includes images collected from different measurements of a single modality or multiple modalities, either at different rotation angles, horizontal shifts, or vertical shifts, of the scene or the object. Estimating registration parameters, using pairs of images, each pair of images includes a reference image and a floating image. Generating parameter matrices corresponding to registration parameters using an image registration process for all pairs of images. Decomposing each parameter matrix into a low-rank matrix of updated registration parameters and a sparse matrix corresponding to the registration parameter errors for each low-rank matrix, to obtain updated registration parameters for robust registration. Using the updated registration parameters to form a transformation matrix to register the images with at least one reference image, resulting in robust registration of the images.
