class	itk::fem::FEMRegistrationFilter< TMovingImage, TFixedImage, TFemObjectType >
	FEM Image registration filter. The image registration problem is modeled here with the finite element method. Image registration is, in general, an ill-posed problem. Thus, we use an optimization scheme where the optimization criterion is given by a regularized variational energy. The variational energy arises from modeling the image as a physical body on which external forces act. The body is allowed to deform so as to minimize the applied force. The resistance of the physical body to deformation, determined by the physics associated with the body, serves to regularize the solution. The forces applied to the body are, generally, highly non-linear and so the body is allowed to deform slowly and incrementally. The direction it deforms follows the gradient of the potential energy (the force) we define. The potential energies we may choose from are given by the itk image-to-image metrics. The choices and the associated direction of descent are : Mean Squares (minimize), Normalized Cross-Correlation (maximize), and Mutual Information (maximize). Note that we have to set the direction (SetDescentDirection) when we choose a metric. More...

Detailed Description

This module contains classes to perform deformable image registration with a structural mechanics, finite element method (FEM) deformation model. Local loads (forces) are determined by the image-to-image metric, and the solid body is assumed to have uniform density and elasticity.
