ANTs and meshes (converted to 3D-images)
04 Aug 2014The implementations both of converting a mesh to image data (see here) and the learning of the ANTsR package seem to pay off: For matching a midfacial region, my surface registration algorithms did not perform too well and I tried the following setup:
- align meshes by landmarks
- create 3D-images
- register images using ANTsR (RANTs)
The initial tests were very promising:
The only drawback is the more time-consuming nature of the matching. The next step is to create an appropriate template.
