Abstract
Example-based affine registration is provided. In various embodiments, a plurality of training images is read. A predetermined affine transform is read for each of the plurality of training images. Each affine transform maps its associated image to a template. Weights are determined for each of the plurality of training images. The weights are determined to minimize a difference between the test image and a weighted linear combination of the training images. An affine transform is determined mapping the test image to the template by computing a weighted linear combination of the affine transforms using the weights.
