FAIR a hardware architecture for real-time 3-D image registration.

Mutual information-based image registration, shown to be effective in registering a range of medical images, is a computationally expensive process, with a typical execution time on the order of minutes on a modern single-processor computer. Accelerated execution of this process promises to enhance...
