“…This can be done either by matrix manipulations [20,27], or by means of recursive filtering techniques [55][56][57], the latter of which are easier to implement and computationally much more efficient. When using the latter approach, nth-degree spline interpolation is carried out by evaluating the following expression:…”

Abstract-Interpolation is required in a variety of medical image processing applications. Although many interpolation techniques are known from the literature, evaluations of these techniques for the specific task of applying geometrical transformations to medical images are still lacking. In this paper we present such an evaluation. We consider convolution-based interpolation methods and rigid transformations (rotations and translations). A large number of sincapproximating kernels are evaluated, including piecewise polynomial kernels and a large number of windowed sinc kernels, with spatial supports ranging from two to ten grid intervals. In the evaluation we use images from a wide variety of medical image modalities. The results show that spline interpolation is to be preferred over all other methods, both for its accuracy and its relatively low computational cost.

“…In fact any window function may be used. B-splines were used here since they are inexpensive and their derivatives are easily obtainable [23]. The advantages of post-Parzen windowing are that it improves on the basic sampling method using a computationally cheap operation: O(i 2 max w 2 ).…”

Abstract. Many variants of MI exist in the literature. These vary primarily in how the joint histogram is populated. This paper places the four main variants of MI: Standard sampling, Partial Volume Estimation (PVE), In-Parzen Windowing and Post-Parzen Windowing into a single mathematical framework. Jacobians and Hessians are derived in each case. A particular contribution is that the non-linearities implicit to standard sampling and post-Parzen windowing are explicitly dealt with. These non-linearities are a barrier to their use in optimisation. Side-byside comparison of the MI variants is made using eight diverse data-sets, considering computational expense and convergence. In the experiments, PVE was generally the best performer, although standard sampling often performed nearly as well (if a higher sample rate was used). The widely used sum of squared differences metric performed as well as MI unless large occlusions and non-linear intensity relationships occurred. The binaries and scripts used for testing are available online.
