Dense Multi-modal Registration with Structural Integrity using Non-local Gradients

Abstract

In this work, the challenging problem of dense non-rigid registration [NRR] for multi-modal data is addressed. We look at a class of differentiable metrics based on weighted L2 distance of non-local image gradients. For intensity dependent choice of weights, the metric is seen to give enhanced multi-modal capability than using just gradients. In a variational dense deformation setting, the metric is coupled with non-local regularization to make the framework feature based. The above combination maintains the visual quality of the registered image, and gives a good correspondence for features of similar geometry under the challenges of noise, large motion, and presence of small structures. We also address computational speed ups of the energy minimization using an approximation scheme. The proposed approach is demonstrated on synthetic and medical data, and results are quantitatively compared with MI based, diffeomorphic NRR.
