Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for registering images includes an image registration unit. The image registration unit is configured to receive first image data for a first image in an N-dimensional space, receive second image data for a second image in the N-dimensional space, calculate a field of update vectors that maps the first image into a moving image, and map the first image into the moving image using the field of update vectors such that the moving image more closely matches the second image. The field of update vectors includes a plurality of N+M dimensional update vectors, each update vector having N spatial components and M extra components. N is a number greater than zero, and M is a number greater than zero. The M extra components of the plurality of update vectors identify portions of the first image that are assigned external values during the mapping the first image into the moving image.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A system for registering images comprising an image registration unit, said image registration unit comprising non-transitory executable code that, when executed by the registration unit, causes the registration unit to: receive first image data for a first image in an N-dimensional space; receive second image data for a second image in said N-dimensional space; calculate a field of update vectors that maps said first image into a moving image; and map said fir…
