A Distance Oriented Kalman Filter Particle Swarm Optimizer Applied to Multi-Modality Image Registration
In this paper we describe improvements to the particle swarm optimizer (PSO) made by inclusion of an unscented Kalman filter to guide particle motion. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the unscented Kalman filter PSO by comparing it with the original PSO algorithm and its variants designed to improve performance. The PSOs were tested firstly on a number of common synthetic benchmarking functions, and secondly applied to a practical three-dimensional image registration problem. The proposed methods displayed better performances for 4 out of 8 benchmark functions, and reduced the target registration errors by at least 2mm when registering down-sampled benchmark brain images. Our methods also demonstrated an ability to align images featuring motion related artefacts which all other methods failed to register. These new PSO methods provide a novel, efficient mechanism to integrate prior knowledge into each iteration of the optimization process, which can enhance the accuracy and speed of convergence in the application of medical image registration.

Implicit Particle Filtering via a Bank of Nonlinear Kalman Filters
The implicit particle filter seeks to mitigate particle degeneracy by identifying particles in the target distribution's high-probability regions. This study is motivated by the need to enhance computational tractability…
Multiparticle Kalman filter for object localization in symmetric environments
This study considers the object localization problem and proposes a novel multiparticle Kalman filter to solve it in complex and symmetric environments. Two well-known classes of filtering algorithms to solve the localiz…
