The invention concerns a method for deformable fusion of a source multi- dimensional image (s(x)) and a target multi-dimensional image (t(x)) of an object, each image being defined on a multi-dimensional domain by a plurality of image signal samples, each sample having an associate position in the multi-dimensional domain and an intensity value, the method comprising estimating a smooth deformation field (d(x)) that optimizes a similarity criterion between the source image and the target image using a Markov Random Field framework, in near real-time performance. The similarity criterion is computed on transform coefficients obtained by applying a sub-space hierarchical transform to the image samples of the target image and to image samples obtained from the source image, an optimal tradeoff between a smoothness condition and the similarity criterion being automatically determined. |
