Surface-based rigid registration using a global optimization algorithm for assessment of MRI knee cartilage thickness changes

•An approach for globally solving the 3D rigid registration problem is proposed.•The method was used for assessment for MRI knee cartilage thickness changes.•The method was evaluated on MR images from porcine knees and human knees.•Experimental results show the effectiveness of our approach.
