An Effective Non-Rigid Registration Approach for Ultrasound Images Based on the Improved Variational Model of Intensity, Local Phase Information and Descriptor Matching [PDF]
Journal of ImagingUltrasound images have some limitations, such as low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), speckle noise, lower dynamic range, blurred boundaries, and shadowing; therefore, ultrasound image registration is an important task for estimating tissue motion and ...

Robust Non-Rigid Feature Matching for Image Registration Using Geometry Preserving
Sensors, 2019 In this paper, a robust non-rigid feature matching approach for image registration with geometry constraints is proposed. The non-rigid feature matching approach is formulated as a maximum likelihood (ML) estimation problem.

Rigid registration algorithm based on the minimization of the total variation of the difference map
Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, 2022 Image registration is broadly used in various scenarios in which similar scenes in different images are to be aligned. However, image registration becomes challenging when the contrasts and backgrounds in the images are vastly different.
