Abstract

This research work proposes unimodal image registration based on genetic algorithm. The intensity-based image registration is employed here, and normalized cross-correlation is used as the similarity index, and for choosing the optimal values of image registration parameters, genetic algorithm was employed. The performance of the image registration was validated by the performance metrics and tested on MR brain images of BrainWeb database. The performance metrics peak-to-signal noise ratio (PSNR), mean squared error (MSE), normalized cross-correlation (NCC), and mutual information (MI) reveals the superiority of the image registration algorithm.
