Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for registering data points in data sets representing scan data. Data points corresponding to a physical feature represented in the scan data are automatically detected. The detected data points in one data set are correlated with detected data points in another data set. A group of similarity transformations between the correlated detected data points is then calculated. The group of similarity transformations is then combined. In one advantageous embodiment, the physical feature is vertebras.
