In this paper, we develop a variational method for the computation of average images of biological organs in three-dimensional Euclidean space. The average of three-dimensional biological organs is an essential feature to discriminate abnormal organs from normal organs. We combine the diffusion registration technique and optical flow computation for the computation of spatial deformation field between the averages and each input organ. We define the average as the shape which minimises the total deformation. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
