Local and Global Consistency Measures in Intensity-based Medical Image Registration

Abstract: Image registration is described as the process of bringing images into an alignment. One application of image registration in medical imaging is the construction of a larger field of view of a scene from its partial views. Intensity-based methods try to find an alignment in terms of intensity matches in the overlap. However, in cases when the size of the overlap is small or the information therein is unreliable, this often leads to a structurally inconsistent, suboptimal alignment. Hence, this thesis investigates this problem and introduces a series of structural consistency measures as local and global regularization for intensity-based registration of partial images.

The talk will be in English and is open to the public. Everybody is cordially invited to attend.
