用高斯原语优化关键点,提升视网膜图像配准精度。

Gaussian Primitive Optimized Deformable Retinal Image Registration

  • 以高斯原语建模关键点,自适应调整影响范围。
  • 配准误差从6.2像素降至2.4像素,25像素内AUC达0.938。
  • 适合处理纹理稀疏但血管结构关键的医学图像配准。

由于大范围均质区域和稀疏但关键的血管特征,基于学习的可变形视网膜图像配准面临梯度信号不足的问题。本文提出高斯原语优化(GPO)框架,通过迭代结构化消息传递解决此挑战。初始粗配准后,从显著解剖结构(如主要血管)提取关键点作为基于描述符的控制节点(DCN)。每个节点以可训练位置、位移和半径的高斯原语建模,使其空间影响范围适应局部形变尺度。采用K近邻高斯插值将信息丰富的节点位移信号融合并传播,构建全局一致的位移场;仅聚焦于前K个最近邻降低计算开销,同时保留局部细节。通过在高梯度区域锚定节点,GPO确保梯度流稳健,缓解纹理空白区域的梯度消失问题。框架通过多目标损失端到端优化,同时约束关键点一致性与灰度对齐。在FIRE数据集上的实验表明,GPO将目标配准误差从6.2像素降至约2.4像素,25像素内的AUC从0.770提升至0.938,显著优于现有方法。源代码可通过https://github.com/xintian-99/GPOreg获取。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Deformable retinal image registration is notoriously difficult due to large homogeneous regions and sparse but critical vascular features, which cause limited gradient signals in standard learning-based frameworks. In this paper, we introduce Gaussian Primitive Optimization (GPO), a novel iterative framework that performs structured message passing to overcome these challenges. After an initial coarse alignment, we extract keypoints at salient anatomical structures (e.g., major vessels) to serve as a minimal set of descriptor-based control nodes (DCN). Each node is modelled as a Gaussian primitive with trainable position, displacement, and radius, thus adapting its spatial influence to local deformation scales. A K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) Gaussian interpolation then blends and propagates displacement signals from these information-rich nodes to construct a globally coherent displacement field; focusing interpolation on the top (K) neighbors reduces computational overhead while preserving local detail. By strategically anchoring nodes in high-gradient regions, GPO ensures robust gradient flow, mitigating vanishing gradient signal in textureless areas. The framework is optimized end-to-end via a multi-term loss that enforces both keypoint consistency and intensity alignment. Experiments on the FIRE dataset show that GPO reduces the target registration error from 6.2\,px to ~2.4\,px and increases the AUC at 25\,px from 0.770 to 0.938, substantially outperforming existing methods.
