“…The image registration based on this feature has advantages of less computation and faster registration speed, and it is robust to changes of gray image scale. However, its registration accuracy is usually not as high as that of gray-level-based image registration ( Li et al, 2020 ; Ran and Xu, 2020 ).…”
In this paper, a method for medical image registration based on the bounded generalized Gaussian mixture model is proposed. The bounded generalized Gaussian mixture model is used to approach the joint intensity of source medical images. The mixture model is formulated based on a maximum likelihood framework, and is solved by an expectation-maximization algorithm. The registration performance of the proposed approach on different medical images is verified through extensive computer simulations. Empirical findings confirm that the proposed approach is significantly better than other conventional ones.

Medical image registration is vital for disease diagnosis and treatment with its ability to merge diverse information of images, which may be captured under different times, angles, or modalities. Although several surveys have reviewed the development of medical image registration, they have not systematically summarized the existing medical image registration methods. To this end, a comprehensive review of these methods is provided from traditional and deep-learning-based perspectives, aiming to help audiences quickly understand the development of medical image registration. In particular, we review recent advances in retinal image registration, which has not attracted much attention. In addition, current challenges in retinal image registration are discussed and insights and prospects for future research provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
