Abstract
Systems and methods for iteratively computing an image registration or an image segmentation are driven by an optimization function that includes a similarity measure component whose effect on the iterative computations is relatively mitigated based on a monitoring of volume changes of volume elements at image locations during the iterations. A system and a related method quantify a registration error by applying a series of edge detectors to input images and combining related filter responses into a combined response. The series of filters are parameterized with a filter parameter. An extremal value of the combined response is then found and a filter parameter associated with said extremal value is then returned as output. This filter parameter relates to a registration error at a given image location.
