Non-rigid free-form 2D–3D registration using a B-spline-based statistical deformation model

This paper presents a non-rigid free-from 2D–3D registration approach using a B-spline-based statistical deformation model (SDM). In our approach the B-spline-based SDM is first constructed from a set of training data using a non-rigid registration algorithm based on B-spline free-form deformation to encode a priori information about the underlying anatomy. A novel intensity-based non-rigid 2D–3D registration algorithm is then presented to...
