Abstract
In the context of motion estimation of the heart and thoracic structures from tomographic imaging, we investigated two free form deformations (FFD) based non linear registration methods as motion estimators. Standard and cylindrical FFD (CFFD) methods are evaluated in 2D, both on simulated and in vivo cardiac and thoracic images. Results tend to show that CFFD based method achieves the same accuracy with less parameters. However, the fast convergence of this model is hamped by a higher computing time with a straightforward implantation.
