A recent trend in computer vision is to combine the census cost function with a TV-L1energy minimization scheme. Although this combination is known for its robust performance in computer vision applications, it has not been introduced to 3D medical image registration yet. Addressing pulmonary motion estimation in 4D (3D+t) CT images, we propose incorporating the census cost function into a 3D implementation of the ‘duality-based approach for realtime TV-L1optical flow’ for the task of lung CT registration. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated on the DIR-lab benchmark and compared to state-of-the-art approaches in this field. Results highlight the potential of the census cost function for accurate pulmonary motion estimation in particular, and 3D medical image registration in general.
