Abstract. In the field of image-guided liver surgery (IGLS), the initial registration of the intra-operative organ surface with preoperative tomographic image data is performed on...
An algorithm for finding coupling points plays an important role in the Iterative Closest Point algorithm (ICP) which is widely used in registration applications in medical and 3-...
This paper introduces a shape descriptor, the soft shape context, motivated by the shape context method. Unlike the original shape context method, where each image point was hard ...
This paper presents a new variant of the classical Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm. The ICP result depends heavily on the matching between 3D points of the two cloud of po...
We show how to extend the ICP framework to nonrigid registration, while retaining the convergence properties of the original algorithm. The resulting optimal step nonrigid ICP fra...
