RF-based Breast Surface Estimation - Registration with Reference Imaging Modality

In this paper, two estimation problems are tackled. Firstly, the robust estimation of the external contour of the breast, using data from a Radio-Frequency (RF) Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) scan. Secondly, the registration between the RF breast scan and the breast scan using a 3D stereographic infrared camera. The bi-modality data registration is meant for controlled patient positioning and breast deformation during the RF breast examination.
