NAME

warp - B-spline nonrigid registration

SYNOPSIS

warp ReferenceImage FloatingImage InitialXform

DESCRIPTION

This program performs nonrigid image registration using multi-resolution optimization of voxel-based image similarity measures and a multi-resolution B-spline transformation model.

OPTIONS

Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools)

--help

Write list of basic command line options to standard output.

--help-all

Write complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output.

--wiki

Write list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup.

--man

Write man page source in ’nroff’ markup to standard output.

--xml

Write command line syntax specification in XML markup (for Slicer integration).

--version

Write toolkit version to standard output.

--echo

Write the current command line to standard output.

--verbose-level <integer>

Set verbosity level.

--verbose , -v

Increment verbosity level by 1 (deprecated; supported for backward compatibility).

--threads <integer>

Set maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP).

Transformation import/export

--initial <transformation-path>

Initialize transformation from given path [Default: NONE]

--write-itk-xform <transformation-path>

Output path for final transformation in ITK format [Default: NONE]

--write-reformatted <image-path>

Write reformatted floating image. [Default: NONE]

Transformation parameters

--grid-spacing <double> , -g <double>

Control point grid spacing [Default: 15]

--exact-spacing

Use exact control point spacing; do not modify spacing to fit reference image bounding box

--refine <integer>

Number of refinements (control point grid resolution levels) [Default: 0]

--delay-refine

Delay control point grid refinement; first switch to next higher image resolution

--ignore-edge <integer>

Ignore n control point layers along each image face [Default: 0]

--restrict <string>

Restrict deformation to coordinate dimension(s) [one or more of ’x’,’y’,’z’] [Default: NONE]

--no-adaptive-fix

Disable adaptive fixing of control points; optimize all deformation parameters

--adaptive-fix-thresh <float>

Threshold factor for entropy criterion to fix local control points [Default: 0.5]

--accurate

Accurate computation mode: may give slightly better results after substantially longer computation [This is the default]

--fast

Fast computation mode: may give slightly worse results than accurate mode, but saves substantial CPU time

--switch , -S

Switch reference and floating image

Regularization parameters

Weight for Jacobian-based local volume preservation constraint [Default: 0]

--energy-weight <float>

Weight for grid bending energy constraint [Default: 0]

--relax <float>

Weight relaxation factor for alternating under-constrained iterations [Default: -1]

--relax-to-unfold

Before each resolution level, regularize negative-Jacobian areas of the deformation to unfold them.

--accuracy <double> , -a <double>

Search accuracy (initial step size) [Default: -1]

Factor for search step size reduction. Must be > 0.0 and < 1.0 [default: 0.5] [Default: 0.5]

--delta-f-threshold <double>

Optional threshold to terminate optimization (level) if relative change of target function drops below this value. [Default: 0]

--no-maxnorm

Use Euclid norm for gradient normalication in optimization, rather than maximum norm

Image resolution parameters
