Abstract

Intensity based registration is a challenge when images to be registered have insufficient amount of information in their overlapping region. Especially, in the absence of dominant structures such as strong edges in this region, obtaining a solution that satisfies global structural consistency becomes difficult. In this work, we propose to exploit the vast amount of available information beyond the overlapping region to support the registration process. To this end, a novel global regularization term using Generalized Hough Transform is designed that ensures the global consistency when the local information in the overlap region is insufficient to drive the registration. Using prior data, we learn a parametrization of the target anatomy in Hough space. This parametrization is then used as a regularization for registering the observed partial images without using any prior data. Experiments on synthetic as well as on sample real medical images demonstrate the good performance and potential use of the proposed concept. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
