Systems and methods for interactive image registration
First Claim
1. A computerized method for image registration, the computerized method comprising:
- accessing a set of images to be registered through an automatic registration process;
selecting an automatic registration process;
applying the selected automatic registration process on the acquired set of images;
receiving user input;
incorporating the received user input into the current stage of the application of the selected registration process on the acquired set of images; and
repeating the action of receiving and incorporating until the registration of the acquired set of images is within a predetermined condition.

Abstract
System and method for incorporating user input on the fly during an otherwise automatic registration process. During rigid registration, user input adjusts the current computed pose or transformation that relates the two images being aligned. During warping, user input adjusts the flow field locally, and is gradually smoothed into the surrounding flow field. During multi-scale registration where images are first aligned at a course resolution, and subsequently at progressively finer resolutions, user input is applied at the current scale. User input is detected during the automated process either by interrupts or polling. Between user inputs the registration results are re-rendered.

13. A system for image registration between a first image and a second image of an object, the system comprising:
-
a registration process calculator configured to perform automatic registration; a graphical user interface configured to receive user input; wherein the registration process calculator incorporates the received user input into the current stage of the automatic registration; and wherein the registration process calculator continues to perform automatic registration and to incorporate user input until a target registration error has been computed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
