An Optimal Control Viewpoint to Fluid Registration

This talk will discuss ongoing work on fluid-flow image registration from an optimal control viewpoint. I will describe both image-to-image as well as image time-series registration and will show the connection of the resulting adjoint solution method to previous approaches.
