Abstract

A method and system for correcting geometric deformations in an aligned image. A shape deformation correction unit is provided for receiving the aligned image and based thereon for generating a shape-corrected image. A space deformation correction unit is coupled to the shape deformation correction unit and receives the shape-corrected image. The space deformation correction unit uses the shape-corrected image to generate edges and interfaces, and further generates a corrected image based on the interfaces and the shape-corrected image.
