Registration of Images with Varying Topology using Embedded Maps

In medical images, intensity changes caused by certain pathology can change the topology of image level-sets and are thus commonly referred to as topological changes. Topological changes cause false deformation in existing deformable registration algorithms, which in turn leads to unreliable observa...
