Figure 2.
A graphical example of B-Spline regularization. The control point of interest p is highlighted in orange. Control points corresponding to 𝒩(p) are highlighted in green. According to our formulation for E[p], the expected location of p is shown by an open red circle. (a), (c) Example where R(T) would have a high value because p is far from E[p]. (b) and (d) would both give a low R(T) value because p is near E[p]. For (c), (d) the deformation not local to p is not taken into account when considering E[p], however other control points may result in a higher R(T) compared to (b).
