    I have been living with mutual information day and night for  a
    while. You can get more information about Normalised MI in D.
    Rueckert et al. IEEE Trans. Med. Imag., 18 712 (1999) and Mattes MI
    in Mattes et al IEEE Trans. Med. Imag., 22 120-128 (2003) and
    references contained therein.<br>
    <br>
    If you understand the methods in the papers, the ITK classes start
    to make sense in spite of the poor documentation. It is undocumented
    but true that Mattes MI is not thread safe so you must set the
    number of threads it uses to 1. I don&#39;t know about the other.<br>
