An apparatus and method for image registration of a template image with a target image with large deformation. The apparatus and method involve computing a large deformation transform based on landmark manifolds, image data or both. The apparatus and method are capable of registering images with a small number of landmark points. Registering the images is accomplished by applying the large deformation transform.

1. A method for registering images comprising:selecting a template image; selecting a target image, wherein at least one image point contained in said target image corresponds to at least one image point in said template image; defining a distance function that expresses a distance between said template image and target image; and registering said template image and said target image as a function of the distance using a large deformation registration function that incorporates said at least one image point contained in said target image and said at least one image point in said template image.
