Abstract

In this Chapter we discuss multi-modality image registration models and efficient algorithms. We propose a simple method to enhance a variational model to generate a diffeomorphic transformation. The idea is illustrated by using a particular model based on reformulated normalized gradients of the images as the fidelity term and higher-order derivatives as the regularizer. By adding a control term motivated by quasi-conformal maps and Beltrami coefficients, the model has the ability to guarantee a diffeomorphic transformation. Without this feature, the model may lead to visually pleasing but invalid results. To solve the model numerically, we present both a Gauss-Newton method and an augmented Lagrangian method to solve the resulting discrete optimization problem. A multilevel technique is employed to speed up the initialization and reduce the possibility of getting local minima of the underlying functional. Finally numerical experiments demonstrate that this new model can deliver good performances for multi-modal image registration and simultaneously generate an accurate diffeomorphic transformation.
