Conditional Entropy
Conditional Entropy (more specifically cross-conditional entropy) is a specific image metric that can be used by X4D when matching X-Ray and digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) images.
Matching Process
The cross-conditional entropy, H, of the DRR image relative to the X-ray image is calculated and minimized by Wang et al.'s optimization algorithm [1].
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| View Weighting | This factor is used when evaluating a bone pose by comparing the DRR images to the X-ray images. It is the relative weight of the two views in the final image metric, so 0.0 indicates all View 1, 1.0 indicates all View 2, and 0.5 indicates to weight each view equally. |
| Constant DRR Scaling | Indicates whether or not to scale the DRRs for each view by a constant value for all iterations of an optimization. If false, each DRR will be scaled so that its maximum value is equal to the DRR image scale value (X-ray/DRR Settings widget). If true, a single scale value will be calculated during the first iteration and be used to scale the DRRs in all subsequent iterations. |

Pixel Difference is another image metric that can be used by X4D.
