| Résumé | The correct diagnosis of brain diseases is crucial for children with brain disorders. But the complex characteristics of infant brain make the image analysis very complicated. Thus, an accurate image registration is a prerequisite for accurate analysis of MR infant brain images, and it provides valuable information for the diagnosis of doctors. This paper presents our research works on SURF registration algorithm of 2-D MR infant brain images. We firstly describe the original algorithm and analyze its advantages and drawbacks. Then an improved version is proposed, which uses 8-D descriptor vectors with the length of 128. The experiment results show, compared with the original version, our algorithm can achieve more accurate image registration with a little more time consumption. For all the images tested, the increase of correct matching rate varies from a minimum of 5.7 % to a maximum of 14.9 % compared with the classical one. |
