Fig. 1. Quantitative evaluation of registration accuracy
Box-and-whisker plot of registration errors (unit: millimetres) for the 4 compared methods (M1 to M4). The errors and the error dispersal are much smaller for M3 compared to M1 and M2; M4 is also slightly worse than M3, which suggests that M4 actually degrades the results compared to M3 when initialised with M3.
