Abstract
Chamfer matching was tested on pairs of pelvic CT scans with a number of artificially and natural artifacts (for instance as model for CT-MR matching) and was found to be extremely robust against outliers (e.g., due to organ motion), missing data, low resolution, and poor segmentation of the images.
