Method, learning apparatus, and medical imaging apparatus for registration of images
Abstract:
A method of training a computer system for use in determining a transformation between coordinate frames of image data representing an imaged subject. The method trains a learning agent according to a machine learning algorithm, to determine a transformation between respective coordinate frames of a number of different views of an anatomical structure simulated using a 3D model. The views are images containing labels. The learning agent includes a domain classifier comprising a feature map generated by the learning agent during the training operation. The classifier is configured to generate a classification output indicating whether image data is synthesized or real images data. Training includes using unlabeled real image data to training the computer system to determine a transformation between a coordinate frame of a synthesized view of the imaged structure and a view of the structure within a real image. This is done whilst deliberately reducing the ability of the domain classifier to discriminate between a synthesized image and a real image of the structure.
