Nonlinear Approaches in Three Dimensional Medical Image Registration

Image registration is the task of finding a spatial transformation T that aligns the objects in two or more images capturing the same or related scene. It is one of the most crucial problems of computer vision and has been studied for over three decades. The underlying task is very general and has a wide range of applications in the fields of medical imaging, machine vision, remote sensing, cartography, etc. In this chapter we focus on the application of image registration in the fields of medical imaging.
