But…• L’s are normalized to sum up to 1.• The α triplets sum up to 360.Therefore we can remove some redundancy.

We can measure a distance between such structures!
From bifurcation structures to registration…
Step 1: Find bifurcation structures in both images.
Step 2: Find the best match between two bifurcation structures. The match between 4 points (3 are enough) determines the affine transformation.
Step 3: Find next best matches (taking the transformation into account); refine the affine transformation with more points.
