[ITK-users] [ITK] Combining two images after registration

Thu Feb 16 16:45:34 EST 2017

Hello Andrew,

There is currently no complete implementation of what you are doing in ITK.
However, there are a few pieces that are available and that you can use.
1) To combine multiple images that partially overlap, you can refer to this
insight Journal article [1].
2) To compute the size of the output image that you need, you can look at
[2] (computing transformed image bounding box).
3) If you create a more complete implementation that solves this problem,
feel free to contribute to ITK. The easiest way to contribute to ITK is to
write an Insight Journal article and implement an external ITK module. You
can refer to the ITK software guide for more information about the process
[3].

Hope this helps,
Francois
