Abstract

Registration of microscopic section images from an organism is of importance in analyzing and understanding the function of an organism. Microscopes usually suffer from the radial distortion due to the spherical aberration. In this paper, a correction scheme for the intra-section registration is proposed. The correction scheme uses two corresponding feature points under the radial distortion model. Proposing several variations of the proposed scheme, we extensively conducted experiments for real microscopic images. Iterative versions of the correction from multiple feature points provide good performance for the registration of the optical and scanning electron microscopic images.
