Abstract

Multi-source, multi-type image registration is provided. Images are received from a plurality of image devices, and images are received from a medical imaging device. A pre-existing diagram of a probe of the medical imaging device is received. A four-dimensional model is determined based on the received images from the image devices. A pose of the probe of the medical imaging device is determined based on the pre-existing diagram of the probe and the received images from the image devices. The plurality of images from the medical imaging device are registered with the four-dimensional model based on a common coordinate system and the determined pose of the probe.
