Registration

• Aligning two points, each in different spaces respectively, together

Examples

• aligning an endoscope coordinate frame to CT data (based on a similarity metric between endoscopic image and CT image) – from https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25991876/
• match virtual surface to corresponding endoscopic video – https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/958638

• allows a matching between deformable surfaces
• finds spatial transformations to align two point sets or two meshes
• done based on:
  • either target surfaces (ClosestPointRegistrationForceField , RegistrationContactForceField)
  • or target images (IntensityProfileRegistrationForceField), which requires the use of the image plugin
