• Abstract summary: We train an image-to-image translation network on the two input modalities. This learned translation allows training the registration network using simple and reliable mono-modality metrics. Compared to state-of-the-art multi-modal methods our presented method is unsupervised, requiring no pairs of aligned modalities for training, and can be adapted to any pair of modalities.

• Abstract: Many applications, such as autonomous driving, heavily rely on multi-modal data where spatial alignment between the modalities is required. Most multi-modal registration methods struggle computing the spatial correspondence between the images using prevalent cross-modality similarity measures. In this work, we bypass the difficulties of developing cross-modality similarity measures, by training an image-to-image translation network on the two input modalities. This learned translation allows training the registration network using simple and reliable mono-modality metrics. We perform multi-modal registration using two networks - a spatial transformation network and a translation network. We show that by encouraging our translation network to be geometry preserving, we manage to train an accurate spatial transformation network. Compared to state-of-the-art multi-modal methods our presented method is unsupervised, requiring no pairs of aligned modalities for training, and can be adapted to any pair of modalities. We evaluate our method quantitatively and qualitatively on commercial datasets, showing that it performs well on several modalities and achieves accurate alignment.

  Direct image-to-graph transformation is a challenging task that solves object detection and relationship prediction in a single model. We introduce a set of methods enabling cross-domain and cross-dimension transfer learning for image-to-graph transformers. We demonstrate our method's utility in cross-domain and cross-dimension experiments, where we pretrain our models on 2D satellite images before applying them to vastly different target domains in 2D and 3D.

  Multi-modal image registration is a crucial pre-processing step in many medical applications. We present Modality Agnostic Distance (MAD), a measure that uses random convolutions to learn the inherent geometry of the images. We demonstrate that not only can MAD affinely register multi-modal images successfully, but it has also a larger capture range than traditional measures.

  We propose a novel translation-based unsupervised deformable image registration approach to convert the multi-modal registration problem to a mono-modal one. Our approach incorporates a discriminator-free translation network to facilitate the training of the registration network and a patchwise contrastive loss to encourage the translation network to preserve object shapes.

  We propose a simple yet effective unsupervised deep learning-based em multi-modal image registration approach. The intuition behind this is that image locations with a strong gradient are assumed to denote a transition of tissues. We evaluate our approach in the context of registering multi-modal (T1w to T2w) magnetic resonance (MR) brain images of different subjects using three different loss functions.

  We propose a novel approach for multi-modal Image-to-image (I2I) translation. We learn a latent embedding, jointly with the generator, that models the variability of the output domain. Specifically, we pre-train a generic style encoder using a novel proxy task to learn an embedding of images, from arbitrary domains, into a low-dimensional style latent space.

  We conduct an empirical study of the applicability of modern I2I translation methods for the task of multimodal biomedical image registration. We compare the performance of four Generative Adrial Network (GAN)-based methods and one contrastive representation learning method. Our results suggest that, although I2I translation may be helpful when the modalities to register are clearly correlated, registration of modalities which express distinctly different properties of the sample are not well handled by the I2I translation approach.
