Local and Global Consistency Measures in Intensity-based Medical Image Registration
Mehmet Yiğitsoy · 2015
This thesis investigates local and global structural consistency measures to be used as regularization constraints in intensity-based registration of partial images for field-of-view extension. The proposed measures are employed in cases where the overlap size is small or the amount of shared information is insufficient. We show how the introduced regularization strategies can be effectively used for a consistent registration of partial observations of a scene in several medical applications including microscopy image stitching and histology volume reconstruction.
