title: [Medical image registration based on hamming window filtering and particle swarm optimizaton].
abstract: Local maxima in multimodality image registration based on mutual information is discussed in this paper. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and filter preprocessing based on hamming window is used to search the registration parameters. Simulations have been done to illustrate that after low-pass filter preprocessing local maxima is eliminated to a great extent. In most case the global maxima can be found by PSO. Simulations illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of this method in registration strategy.
