Abstract

The use of polynomial expansion in image registration has previously been shown to be beneficial due to fast convergence and high accuracy. However, earlier work has only been for mono-modal image registration. In this work, it is shown how polynomial expansion and mutual information can be linked to achieve multi-modal image registration. The proposed method is evaluated using MRI data and shown to have a satisfactory accuracy while not increasing the computation time significantly.
