Detailed Description

template<typename TFixedImage, typename TMovingImage>
class itk::ImageRegistrationMethod< TFixedImage, TMovingImage >

Base class for Image Registration Methods.

This Class define the generic interface for a registration method.

This class is templated over the type of the two image to be registered. A generic Transform is used by this class. That allows to select at run time the particular type of transformation that is to be applied for registering the images.

This method use a generic Metric in order to compare the two images. the final goal of the registration method is to find the set of parameters of the Transformation that optimizes the metric.

The registration method also support a generic optimizer that can be selected at run-time. The only restriction for the optimizer is that it should be able to operate in single-valued cost functions given that the metrics used to compare images provide a single value as output.

The terms : Fixed image and Moving image are used in this class to indicate what image is being mapped by the transform.

This class uses the coordinate system of the Fixed image as a reference and searchs for a Transform that will map points from the space of the Fixed image to the space of the Moving image.

For doing so, a Metric will be continuously applied to compare the Fixed image with the Transformed Moving image. This process also requires to interpolate values from the Moving image.
