Par0014 - elastix

Registration Description

intra-mouse; B-spline transformation; combination of normalized correlation and the Euclidean distance metric

Image data

Application

3D registration was performed using the following:

alt-textalt-textalt-textalt-text

Shown are (left to right) 1) Moving image 2) Fixed image 3) Registration with NCC only and 4) Registration with NCC and EDM. The arrows indicate where the registration with the NCC only fails.

Registration Settings

For parameter files see the Elastix Model Zoo repository on GitHub.

elastix version: 4.403

Parameter file for the NCC B-Spline registration, initialized by a similarity registration, is indicated with '.NCC.txt'.

Command line call:

elastix -f fixed_image.mhd -m moving_image.mhd -p parameters.similarity.txt -p parameters.NCC.txt -out resultDir

Parameter file for the NCC plus EDM B-Spline registration, initialized by a similarity registration, is indicated with 'NCC_EDM.txt'

Command line call:

elastix -f fixed_image.mhd -m moving_image.mhd -fp fixedPointSet.txt -mp movingPointSet.txt -p parameters.similarity.txt
  -p parameters.NCC_EDM.txt -out resultDir
