18th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR'06) Volume 2 Robust Image Registration Based on Markov-Gibbs Appearance Model Hong Kong August 20-August 24 ISBN: 0-7695-2521-0
A new approach to align an image of a textured object with a given prototype is proposed. Visual appearance of the images, after equalizing their signals, is modeled with a Markov-Gibbs random field with pairwise interaction. Similarity to the prototype is measured by a Gibbs energy of signal co-occurrences in a characteristic subset of pixel pairs derived automatically from the prototype. An object is aligned by an affine transformation maximizing the similarity by using an automatic initialization followed by gradient search. Experiments confirm that our approach aligns complex objects better than popular conventional algorithms.
