Abstract

Maximization of Mutual information (MMI) is a method that is used widely for multi-modal image registration. However, classical MMI techniques utilize only regional and/or global statistical information and do not make use of spatial features. Several techniques have been proposed to extend MMI to use spatial information, but have proven to be computationally demanding. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to combine spatial information with MMI by using the Harris Corner Label (HCL) algorithm. We use the HCL based MMI algorithm to accelerate the computation and improve the registration over noisy images. Our results indicate that the HCL based registration technique yields superior performance on multimodal imagery when compared to its classical MMI based counterpart.
