Image registration in high dimensional feature space

Abstract

Image registration is a difficult task especially when spurrious image intensity differences and spatial variations between the two images are present. To robustify image registration algorithms to such spurrious variations it can be useful to employ an image registration matching criteria on higher dimensional feature spaces. This paper will present an overview of our recent work on image registration using high dimensional image features and entropic graph matching criteria. New entropic graph estimates of information divergence measures will be presented. We will demonstrate the advantage of our approach for ultrasound breast image registration
