Detailed Description

template<class TFixedImage, class TMovingImage>
class itk::NormalizedMutualInformationHistogramImageToImageMetric< TFixedImage, TMovingImage >

Computes normalized mutual information between two images to be registered using the histograms of the intensities in the images.

The type of Normalize Mutual Information implemented in this class is given by the equation

$\frac{ H(A) + H(B) }{ H(A,B) }$

Where $ H(A) $ is the entropy of image $ A $, $ H(B) $ is the entropy of image $ B $, and $ H(A,B) $ is the joing entropy of images $ A $ and $ B $.

Details of this implementation can be found in the book "Medical Image Registration" by Hajnal, Hill and Hawkes. The book is available online at http://books.google.com/books?id=2dtQNsk-qBQC The implementation of this class corresponds to equation (30) in Chapter 3 of this book. Note that by slightly changing this class it will be trivial to compute the Normalized Mutual Information measures defined in equations (28) and (29) of the same book.

This class is templated over the type of the fixed and moving images to be compared.
