Abstract

Image registration is a very important problem in medical image processing. In this paper, a hierarchical optical flow motion model is used to solve the registration problem. We develop a novel numerical algorithm to achieve robust and efficient 3D/2D image registration. Motion estimation examples on synthetic & real data with performance comparison to competing ones are presented.
