Abstract

An apparatus and method for image registration of a template image with a target image with large deformation. The apparatus and method involve computing a large deformation transform based on landmark manifolds, image data or both. The apparatus and method are capable of registering images with a small number of landmark points. Registering the images is accomplished by applying the large deformation transform.
