== General Information ==
===Module Type & Category===

Type: CLI

Category: Registration

===Authors, Collaborators & Contact===
* Author: Daniel Blezek
* Contact: daniel.blezek at gmail.com

===Module Description===
This command line module implements a registration algorithm based on the Mattes mutual information registration metric. The transformation mapping the moving image to the fixed image consists of 3 translations and 3 rotations. Thus only rigid body transformations are permitted. Both the fixed and moving images may be optionally smoothed before registration. The module optionally breaks the optimization into multiple stages, each with a different learning rate and number of iterations.

== Usage ==

===Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials===

* This module is often used to align images of the same subject acquired at different times.
* The Mattes mutual information metric is suitable for aligning images of the same or different modalities.
* The rigid body transformation allows a limited degree of deformation and frequently is used as a pre-processing step for higher order transformations such as the [[Modules:DeformableB-SplineRegistration-Documentation-3.4|BSpline]] and [[Modules:DiffeomorphicDemonsAlgorithm-Documentation03.4| Demons]].

===Quick Tour of Features and Use===

== Development ==

===Dependencies===

No other modules are required for this module.

===Limitations===

The module uses an [http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1OrientImageFilter.html itkOrientImageFilter] to realign the fixed and moving images to axial before registration. This is required due to limitations in [http://www.itk.org/Wiki/Proposals:Orientation ITK's handling] of non-axial images in filters used by registration.

===Known bugs===

None. To report bugs, follow this [http://na-mic.org/Mantis/main_page.php link] to the Slicer3 bug tracker.

===Usability issues===
