Phase-based multidimensional volume registration

Abstract

We present a method for accurate image registration and motion estimation in multidimensional volumes, such as 3D CT and MR images. The method is based on phase from quadrature filters, which makes it insensitive to variations in luminance and other disturbance in the images. The theory is not restricted to any particular kind of motion model or number of dimensions. Experimental results for affine motions in 3D show high accuracy.
