Villanueva PY - 1999// TI - Creaseness-based computer tomography and magnetic resonance registration: Comparison with the mutual information method. N2 - This paper describes a method which uses the skull as a landmark for automatic registration of computer tomography to magnetic resonance (MR) images. First, the skull is extracted from both images using a new creaseness operator. Then, the resulting creaseness images are used to build a hierarchic structure which permits a robust and fast search. We have justified experimentally the performance of several choices of our algorithm, and we have thoroughly tested its accuracy and robustness against the well-known mutual information method for five different pairs of images. We have found both comparable, and for certain MR images the proposed method achieves better performance. L1 - http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/LLS1999a.pdf N1 - ADAS ID - David Lloret1999 ER -
