Abstract

This paper studies a variational formulation of the image matching problem. We consider a scenario in which a canonical representative image T is to be carried via a smooth change of variable into an image that is intended to provide a good fit to the observed data. The images are all defined on an open bounded set G ⊂ R 3 . The changes of variable are determined as solutions of the nonlinear Eulerian transport equation \[ d η ( s ; x ) d s = v ( η ( s ; x ) , s ) , η ( τ ; x ) = x , ( 0.1 ) \] with the location η ( 0 ; x ) in the canonical image carried to the location x in the deformed image. The variational problem then takes the form \[ arg ⁡ min v [ ‖ v ‖ 2 + ∫ G | T o η ( 0 ; x ) − D ( x ) | 2 d x ] , ( 0.2 ) \] where ‖ v ‖ is an appropriate norm on the velocity field v ( ⋅ , ⋅ ) , and the second term attempts to enforce fidelity to the data.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Directly predicting displacements does not encode deformation smoothness, similar to existing optical flow approaches.

    “This is unsurprising as, similar to existing optical flow approaches [14, 15], directly predicting displacements does not encode deformation smoothness.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
