Elastic registration or alignment is a task of finding the matching of two images, using geometric and elastic transformations, so that objects in images have the same size, position and orientation. We apply elastic registration in the framework of volume reconstruction, where an object acquired from parallel physical sections by a confocal laser scanning microscope is composed and mutual positions of the sections including deformations caused by their cutting have to be found. Our aim was to find a parallelizable algorithm that can be implemented on a graphics card using NVidia CUDA programming environment
