Non-rigid Point Set Registration based Muscle Function Estimation

Non-rigid point registration is the process of aligning one set of points to another that is deformed from the former. It plays a key role in many computer vision, medical imaging and pattern recognition applications, such as generating cartoon animation, object retrieval, recovering dynamic motions of human organs and muscles, and template matching for hand-written characters. In this book, we introduce a novel approach for muscle function estimation using non-rigid point set registration.
