1) Review the basic options in implementing different intensity-based, automatic image registration methods. 2) Identify the key basic components of automatic registration algorithms. 3) For each key component identify the parameters which must be chosen by the user, and in the framework provided by several examples. 4) Describe the rationale for making such parameter choices.
While the potential user of automatic registration algorithms may have many more options to choose from than they prefer, there are some intrinsic spatial dimensionality parameters over which they have little control and are simply related to the chosen application. Beyond these geometric choices the algorithms include key components related to the objective functions they optimize, types of optimizers, and regularization imposed, all of which are related to the resulting accuracy and duration of the algorithms’ compute times. In this presentation the authors will briefly describe the ranges of each of these key components.
