Hierarchical Prediction of Registration Misalignment using a Convolutional LSTM: Application to Chest CT Scans

In this paper we propose a supervised method to predict registration misalignment using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This task is casted to a classification problem with multiple classes of misalignment: 'correct' 0-3 mm, 'poor' 3-6 mm and 'wrong' over 6 mm. Rather than a direct prediction, we propose a hierarchical approach, where...
