Abstract
An image registration apparatus comprises: a features detector () configured to extract a two-dimensional set of features () from a two-dimensional image () and to extract a three-dimensional set of features () from a three-dimensional image (); a projection processor () configured to project three-dimensional data into two-dimensional projection data; and a registration processor () configured to (i) adjust parameters to register the two-dimensional set of features and the three-dimensional set of features projected by the projection processor using a projection geometry (), and to (ii) use the adjusted parameters to register the two-dimensional image and the three-dimensional image projected by the projection processor using the projection geometry.
