The template image is shown with the ground-truth transformation (blue) and an
estimated transformation (red) in Fig. 2.3 a. The average endpoint error e from
Eq. ( 2.89 ) between the two grids is shown in Fig. 2.3 d (scaled between 0 and 25 in
pixel units). It can be seen that the estimated transformation differs from the ground-
truth transformation at the corners of the images, where the intensities are almost
zeros in the images
. We thus restrict the quantitative error analysis to the
region where the images have an intensity value above 1. The error e restricted to this
area is shown in Fig. 2.3 e and is 0.47 pixels on average with a maximum error e max
from Eq. ( 2.90 ) of 1.39 pixels. The reference image is shown in Fig. 2.3 b and the
resulting image after applying the estimated transformation is shown in Fig. 2.3 c.
Line profiles are given in Fig. 2.3 f. The dotted line profile after mass-preserving
motion estimation is almost indistinguishable from the reference line profile.
The same experiment is performed for the standard transformation model defined
in Eq. ( 2.2 )andisshowninFig. 2.4 . The estimated grid in Fig. 2.4 a is subject to
major errors which results in an erroneous transformed image in Fig. 2.4 c. The error
