Detailed Description

template<typename TInternalComputationValueType>
class itk::MultiStartOptimizerv4Template< TInternalComputationValueType >

Multi-start searches over input parameters and returns the best metric value.

The multi-start algorithm performs gradient descent from N (large) number of starting points and returns the best solution. Ideal start points would sample the solution space almost uniformly, thus, in theory, this is a global optimizer. In this implementation, the quality of the optimization depends on the parameter space samples that the user inputs to the optimizer. Multi-start can be modified in numerous ways to improve robustness of standard approaches. These improvements usually focus modifying the parameter sample space. This is why we place the burden on the user to provide the parameter samples over which to optimize.
