Abstract
A system receives a first set of points corresponding to an anatomical feature. Each point in the first set of points represents a position in a first frame. The system receives a second set of points corresponding to the anatomical feature. Each point in the second set of points represents a position in a second frame. The system identifies a first subset of the first set of points and determines a first transformation to align the first subset of the first set of points with the second set of points. The first set of points is transformed based on the first transformation. The system identifies a second subset of the first set of points and determines a second transformation to align the first and second subsets of the first set of points with the second set of points. The first set of points are transformed based on the second transformation.
