Optical flow method is an important and effective deformation registration algorithm based on optical flow field model. Aiming at the problem that the feature quality used by the existing optical flow method is not high enough to make the registration result accurate, combining the features of deep convolutional neural network and optical flow method, a deformable medical image registration algorithm based on Deep Convolution Feature Based Optical Flow (DCFOF) was proposed. Firstly, the deep convolution feature of the image block where each pixel in the image was located was densely extracted by using a deep convolutional neural network, and then the optical flow field was solved based on the deep convolution feature difference between the fixed image and the floating image. By extracting more accurate and robust deep learning features of the image, the optical flow field obtained was closer to the real deformation field, and the registration accuracy was improved. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can solve the problem of deformable medical image registration effectively, and has the registration accuracy better than those of Demons algorithm, Scale-Invariant Feature Transform(SIFT) Flow algorithm and professional registration software of medical images called Elastix.
