Abstract
We propose here a point landmark based registration method utilizing g eometric invariance properties of biomedical images. These point landm arks constitute entrance and exit points of concavities of individual structures and points of inflexion of curves, derived from the convex hull. Registration is performed in a canonical frame of reference. Thi s technique is fast, semi-automatic and computationally inexpensive.
