Multi-channel Mutual Information Using Scale Space
We propose a new voxel similarity measure which utilises local image structure as well intensity information. Gaussian scale space derivatives are used to provide the structural in...

Learning Coupled Prior Shape and Appearance Models for Segmentation
We present a novel framework for learning a joint shape and appearance model from a large set of un-labelled training examples in arbitrary positions and orientations. The shape an...

Volume Preserving Image Registration
In this paper we discuss image registration techniques with a focus on volume preserving constraints. These constraints can reduce the non-uniqueness of the registration problem si...

Multiresolution Image Registration Based on Kullback-Leibler Distance
This paper extends our prior work on multi-modal image registration based on the a priori knowledge of the joint intensity distribution that we expect to obtain, and Kullback-Leibl...
