Bob de Vos releases beta version of DLIR studies

Bob de Vos made the code for Deep Learning Image Registration (DLIR) available on GitHub.

DLIR framework allows for unsupervised affine and deformable image registration. ConvNets are trained for image registration by exploiting image similarity analogous to conventional intensity-based image registration. After a ConvNet has been trained with the DLIR framework, it can be used to register pairs of unseen images in one shot. We propose flexible ConvNets designs for affine image registration and for deformable image registration. By stacking multiple of these ConvNets into a larger architecture, we are able to perform coarse-to-fine image registration.

The approach is described in the paper titled A deep learning framework for unsupervised affine and deformable image registration by Bob B. de Vos, Floris F. Berendsen, Max A. Viergever, Hessam Sokooti, Marius Staring, Ivana Išgum published in Medical Image Analysis [1].

The code is available at .https://github.com/BDdeVos/TorchIR.

It contains several techniques presented in our studies[1,2]. It also contains a tutorial that shows cases its features using computationally light-weight image data (handwritten digits). The code is under development, but can already be applied in your research projects:
