AI Technical Summary
Conventional image registration methods are inadequate for registering multimodal images of 3D scenes, as they often require feature matching which is not achievable when images are of different modalities, leading to insufficient accuracy and complexity in computational procedures.
The proposed solution utilizes an optimal transport (OT) method that incorporates epipolar geometry as a regularizer to generate a registration map for image registration, allowing for the registration of multi-modal images without the need for camera calibration.
This approach enables accurate registration of multi-modal images by constraining the registration map with epipolar geometry, resulting in a more efficient and accurate image registration process suitable for various imaging applications.
