In some registration applications additional user knowledge is available, which can improve and accelerate the registration process, especially for non-rigid registration. This is particularly important in the transfer of pre-operative plans to the operating room, e.g. for navigation. In case of tubular structures, such as vessels, a geometric representation can be extracted via segmentation and skeletonization. We present a new class of distance measures based on global filter kernels to compare such models efficiently with image data. The approach is validated in a non-rigid registration application with Powerdoppler ultrasound data.
