The energy is minimized during the matching procedure. vCalcMinSquaredDistPtBound.m One component of the energy is the distance energy. This component is determined by calcu- lating the smallest squared Euclidean distance between a point, which is specified by the user within a certain boundary of a measured phase-wedge image and the corresponding boundary in the deformed atlas image. If the distance is zero, then the specified point lies exactly on top of the boundary in the deformed atlas image and the distance energy for this point is zero. The calculation is done in the function vCalcMinSquaredDistPtBound. Input arguments are the coordinates and a confidence measure of a boundary point, the boundary image, which is a matrix of ones (for the pixels that belong to the boundary) and zeros (for pixels that are not
