A Markov random field approach to group-wise registration/mosaicing with application to ultrasound
An efficient group-wise non-rigid registration algorithm which is robust to shadow artifacts. Theory systematically developed and linked to a Markov random field. Novel graph-based mosaicing algorithm presented to stitch overlapping fetal image volumes. Optimization speed-up gained through fusion of registration results calculated in parallel. Clinical stitching results incorporated into simulator and evaluated by obstetrics professionals.
