Module Description
This Module is an integrated framework providing access to ITK registration technologies. Algorithms can be run in single mode or pipelined. Depending on the size of the data sets, a significant amount of memory is needed. There is an option to trade off speed for memory. Most of the code is parallelized and will take advantage of multicore capabilities, if available.
Major Features
The major features of the module include:
- Default parameters register many full-head and skull-stripped MRI: rigid, affine, and BSpline
- Offers a complete, pipeline-based registration solution
- Load and apply existing transforms
- Compute rigid, affine, and bspline transforms in sequence with a single command
- Intuitive parameters
- Instead of setting obscure "scales" for parameters, you set global values for "Expected Offset", "Expected Rotation", ... to indicate how much mis-registration is anticipated in the data being registered
- MinimizeMemory option provides a way to compute bspline registrations using a dense set of control points and a large number of samples on "normal" computers (albeit computation time increases)
- SampleFromOverlap option allows images of vastly different sizes to be registered
- Helps to avoid (but does not completely eliminate) the annoying ITK exception, "too many samples falls outside of the image"
- Incorporates testing
- Specify a baseline image, and modules will perform the requested registration, compare its results with the baseline image, and return success/failure
- Based on an extensible and re-usable class structure.
