title: Affine Registration

category: Legacy.Registration

description: Registers two images together using an affine transform and mutual information. This module is often used to align images of different subjects or images of the same subject from different modalities.

This module can smooth images prior to registration to mitigate noise and improve convergence. Many of the registration parameters require a working knowledge of the algorithm although the default parameters are sufficient for many registration tasks.

Inputs:

[Optional]
fixedsmoothingfactor: (an integer (int or long))
        Amount of smoothing applied to fixed image prior to registration.
        Default is 0 (none). Range is 0-5 (unitless). Consider smoothing the
        input data if there is considerable amounts of noise or the noise
        pattern in the fixed and moving images is very different.
        argument: ``--fixedsmoothingfactor %d``
movingsmoothingfactor: (an integer (int or long))
        Amount of smoothing applied to moving image prior to registration.
        Default is 0 (none). Range is 0-5 (unitless). Consider smoothing the
        input data if there is considerable amounts of noise or the noise
        pattern in the fixed and moving images is very different.
        argument: ``--movingsmoothingfactor %d``
histogrambins: (an integer (int or long))

[Optional]

        Smaller values cause the optimizer to take smaller steps through the
        parameter space. Larger values are typically used early in the
        registration process to take large jumps in parameter space followed
        by smaller values to home in on the optimum value of the
        registration objective function. Default is: 0.01, 0.005, 0.0005,

title: Rigid Registration

description: Registers two images together using a rigid transform and mutual information.

This module was originally distributed as “Linear registration” but has been renamed to eliminate confusion with the “Affine registration” module.

This module is often used to align images of different subjects or images of the same subject from different modalities.

This module can smooth images prior to registration to mitigate noise and improve convergence. Many of the registration parameters require a working knowledge of the algorithm although the default parameters are sufficient for many registration tasks.

        argument: ``--histogrambins %d``
spatialsamples: (an integer (int or long))
        Number of spatial samples to use in estimating Mattes Mutual
        Information. Larger values yield more accurate PDFs and improved
        registration quality.
        argument: ``--spatialsamples %d``
iterations: (a list of items which are an integer (int or long))
        Comma separated list of iterations. Must have the same number of
        elements as the learning rate.
        argument: ``--iterations %s``
learningrate: (a list of items which are a float)
        Comma separated list of learning rates. Learning rate is a scale
        factor on the gradient of the registration objective function
        (gradient with respect to the parameters of the transformation) used
        to update the parameters of the transformation during optimization.
        Smaller values cause the optimizer to take smaller steps through the
        parameter space. Larger values are typically used early in the
        registration process to take large jumps in parameter space followed
        by smaller values to home in on the optimum value of the
        registration objective function. Default is: 0.01, 0.005, 0.0005,
        0.0002. Must have the same number of elements as iterations.
        argument: ``--learningrate %s``
translationscale: (a float)
        Relative scale of translations to rotations, i.e. a value of 100
        means 10mm = 1 degree. (Actual scale used 1/(TranslationScale^2)).
        This parameter is used to 'weight' or 'standardized' the transform
        parameters and their effect on the registration objective function.
        argument: ``--translationscale %f``
initialtransform: (an existing file name)
        Initial transform for aligning the fixed and moving image. Maps
        positions in the fixed coordinate frame to positions in the moving
        coordinate frame. Optional.
        argument: ``--initialtransform %s``
FixedImageFileName: (an existing file name)
        Fixed image to which to register
        argument: ``%s``, position: -2
MovingImageFileName: (an existing file name)
        Moving image
        argument: ``%s``, position: -1
outputtransform: (a boolean or a file name)
        Transform calculated that aligns the fixed and moving image. Maps
        positions in the fixed coordinate frame to the moving coordinate
        frame. Optional (specify an output transform or an output volume or
        both).
        argument: ``--outputtransform %s``
resampledmovingfilename: (a boolean or a file name)
        Resampled moving image to the fixed image coordinate frame. Optional
        (specify an output transform or an output volume or both).
        argument: ``--resampledmovingfilename %s``
args: (a unicode string)
        Additional parameters to the command
        argument: ``%s``
environ: (a dictionary with keys which are a bytes or None or a value
          of class 'str' and with values which are a bytes or None or a
          value of class 'str', nipype default value: {})
        Environment variables

Outputs:

outputtransform: (an existing file name)
        Transform calculated that aligns the fixed and moving image. Maps
        positions in the fixed coordinate frame to the moving coordinate
        frame. Optional (specify an output transform or an output volume or
        both).
resampledmovingfilename: (an existing file name)
        Resampled moving image to the fixed image coordinate frame. Optional
        (specify an output transform or an output volume or both).
