registrationx ReferenceImage FloatingImage
DESCRIPTION
This program performs rigid and affine image registration using multi- resolution optimization of voxel-based image similarity measures.
OPTIONS
Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools)
--help
Write list of basic command line options to standard output.
--help-all
Write complete list of basic and advanced command line options to
standard output.
--wiki
Write list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki
markup.

integration).

--echo

--verbose-level <integer>
Set verbosity level.
--verbose, -v
Increment verbosity level by 1 (deprecated; supported for backward
compatibility).
--threads <integer>
Set maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and
OpenMP).
Automation Options
--auto-multi-levels <integer>
Automatic optimization and resolution parameter generation for <n>
levels [Default: 0]
Optimization settings
--max-stepsize <double>
Maximum optimizer step size, which determines search space
exploration. [Default: 8]
--min-stepsize <double>
Minimum optimizer step size, which determines precision.
[Default: 0.1]
--stepfactor <double>
Factor for search step size reduction. Must be > 0.0 and < 1.0
[Default: 0.5]
--delta-f-threshold <double>
Optional threshold to terminate optimization (level) if relative
change of target function drops below this value. [Default: 0]
Image resolution parameters
--sampling <double>, -s <double>
Image sampling (finest resampled image resolution) [Default: 1]
--coarsest <double>
Upper limit for image sampling in multiresolution hierarchy
[Default: -1]
--omit-original-data
Do not use original data in full resolution, omit final stage in
multiresolution hierarchy, thus reducing computation time.
Transformation parameters
--dofs <integer>[,<integer>,...]
Add number of degrees of freedom. This can be 3 (translation), 6
(rigid: translation and rotation), 7 (rigid plus global scale), 9
(rigid plus anisotropic scales), 12 (rigid plus scales plus
shears), 3003 (translation plus shear), 3033 (translation, shear,
and scale) or 3303 (rigid plus shears, but no scale). This option
can be repeated, in which case DOFs are used for successive
optimization runs in the order that they appear.
--dofs-final <integer>[,<integer>,...]
Add number of degrees of freedom for final level only [can be
repeated]
--symmetric
Use symmetric registration functional to simultaneously estimate
forward and inverse transformation. This increases ragistration
time substantially but produces a result that is invariant under
exchange of fixed and moving image. It may also be more robust
and/or more accurate than forward-only registration.
--restrict-in-plane
Restrict the affine transformation to be in-plane for planes
perpendicular to a given coordinate axis. Supported values: "xy",
"xz", "yz", "none", where the default is "none", or use one of the
following:
--xy Transformation restricted to in-plane for 'xy' plane
(perpendicular to z coordinate axis).
--xz Transformation restricted to in-plane for 'xz' plane
(perpendicular to y coordinate axis).
--yz Transformation restricted to in-plane for 'yz' plane
(perpendicular to x coordinate axis).
--none
Full 3D affine transformation is computed. [This is the
default]
--init
Select initializer for the affine trasnformation. Supported
values: "none", "fov", "com", "pax", "physical", where the default
is "fov", or use one of the following:
--none
Use input transformation, or identity transformation if none
was provided.
--fov
Align centers of field of view (or crop regions) using a
translation. [This is the default]
--com
Align centers of mass using a translation.
--pax
Align images by rotation using principal axes and translation
using centers of mass.
--physical
Align images by rotation using direction vectors stored in
input images and translation using image origins.
--initial <transformation-path>
Initialize transformation from given path [Default: NONE]
--initial-is-inverse
Invert initial transformation before initializing registration
Image data
--registration-metric
Registration metric for motion estimation by image-to-image
registration. Supported values: "nmi", "mi", "cr", "rms", "msd",
"ncc", where the default is "nmi", or use one of the following:
--nmi
Normalized Mutual Information metric [This is the default]
--mi Standard Mutual Information metric
--cr Correlation Ratio metric
--rms
Root of Mean Squaresa metric (this is the square root of MSD)
--msd
Mean Squared Difference metric
--ncc
Normalized Cross Correlation metric
Floating Image Interpolation Options
--interpolation
Interpolation method for floating image sampling: Supported
values: "nearest-neighbor", "linear", "cubic", "cosine-sinc",
"partial-volume", "automatic", where the default is "automatic",
or use one of the following:

--cubic
Tricubic interpolation
--cosine-sinc
Cosine-windowed sinc interpolation (most accurate but
slowest)

for grey-level data, nearest neighbor for label data. [This
is the default]
