Abstract
When using a non-rigid registration
scheme, it is possible that bias is
introduced during the registration process
of consecutive sections. This bias can
accumulate when large series of sections
are to be registered and can cause
substantial distortions of the scale space of
individual sections thus leading to
significant measurement bias. This paper
presents an automated scheme based on
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)
techniques to estimate and eliminate
registration bias. For this purpose, a
hierarchical model is used based on the
assumption that (a)
each section has the same, independent
probability to be deformed by the
sectioning and therefore the subsequent
registration process and (b) the varying
bias introduced by the registration process
has to be balanced such that the average
section area is preserved forcing the
average scale parameters to have a mean
value of 1.0.
