Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the registration of a series of at least three temporally successively acquired images (I1–In) of an object. Individual images (I2–In) to be registered are transformed into registered images (I2′-In′) using an individual mapping rule (T2–Tn). A similarity measure (M) is used to determine a mapping rule (T2–Tn), where to achieve a higher registration accuracy, a common similarity measure (M) of all images (I1′-In′) in order to determine the mapping rules (T2–Tn) for all images is implemented. The invention also relates to a corresponding registration device.
