Registration of computed tomography images of a lung infected with COVID-19 based in the new meta-heuristic algorithm HPSGWO

Abstract

Computed tomography (CT) helps the radiologist in the rapid and correct detection of a person infected with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and this by showing the presence of the ground-glass opacity in the lung of with the virus. Tracking the evolution of the spread of the ground-glass opacity (GGO) in the lung of the person infected with the virus needs to study more than one image in different times. The various CT images must be registration to identify the evolution of the ground glass in the lung and to facilitate the study and identification of the virus. Due to the process of registration images is essentially an improvement problem, we present in this paper a new HPSGWO algorithm for registration CT images of a lung infected with the COVID-19. This algorithm is a hybridization of the two algorithms Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Grey wolf optimizer (GWO). The simulation results obtained after applying the algorithm to the test images show that the proposed approach achieved high-precision and robust registration compared to other methods such as GWO, PSO, Firefly Algorithm (FA), and Crow Searcha Algorithms (CSA).

Grey Wolf Optimizer with Behavior Considerations and Dimensional Learning in Three-Dimensional Tooth Model Reconstruction

“…In 3D reconstruction from multi-view images, there are several processes, including image registration, which is the transforming process of different sets of data into one coordinate system. There are existing works on 2D medical image registration [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Since point cloud coordinates are used in our 3D teeth reconstruction, the 3D registration is more proper.…”
