Abstract
Image registration is one of the essential elements in computer vision and several practical domains. Its objective is to recover a spatial transformation that aligns images. This is frequently formulated as an optimization problem based on an objective function that measures the quality of transformation with respect to the picture data and some prior information. This article revisits the concept of graph cuts as an effective optimization technique for image registration. We present a combination of graph cuts with superpixels segmentation via convolutional neural network (CNN), which produces a meaningful graph representation that can overcame the high computation cost.
