Abstract
This paper provides a novel algorithm for invertible non- rigid image registration. The proposed model minimizes two energy functionals coupled by a natural inverse consistent constraint. Both of the energy functionals for forward and backward deformation fields consist a smoothness measure of the deformation field, and a similarity measure between the deformed image and the one to be matched. In this proposed model the similarity measure is based on maximum likelihood estimation of the residue image. To enhance algorithm efficiency, the Additive Operator Splitting (AOS) scheme is used in solving the minimization problem. The inverse consistent deformation field can be applied to automatic re-contouring to get an accurate delineation of Regions Of Interest(ROIs). The experimental results on synthetic images and 3D prostate data indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method in inverse consistency and automatic re-contouring.
