title = "A novel approach for global lung registration using 3D Markov-Gibbs appearance model",
abstract = "A new approach to align 3D CT data of a segmented lung object with a given prototype (reference lung object) using an affine transformation is proposed. Visual appearance of the lung from CT images, after equalizing their signals, is modeled with a new 3D Markov- Gibbs random field (MGRF) with pairwise interaction model. Similarity to the prototype is measured by a Gibbs energy of signal co-occurrences in a characteristic subset of voxel pairs derived automatically from the prototype. An object is aligned by an affine transformation maximizing the similarity by using an automatic initialization followed by a gradient search. Experiments confirm that our approach aligns complex objects better than popular conventional algorithms.",
