Abstract
A method, including calculating a first distance matrix for a first binary image and a second distance matrix for a second binary image, and calculating a first gradient matrix for the first distance matrix and a second gradient matrix for the second distance matrix. Using the calculated distance and gradient matrices, a displacement matrix is calculated that defines a change in position between elements in the first distance matrix and corresponding elements in the second distance matrix. Outlier elements are identified including elements in the displacement matrix satisfying at least one predetermined criterion, and the identified outlier are replaced with calculated interpolated values.
