Detailed Description

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

Computes similarity between two objects to be registered.

This Class is templated over the type of the Images to be compared and over the type of transformation and Interpolator to be used.

This metric computes the sum of squared differences between pixels in the derivatives of the moving and fixed images after passing the squared difference through a function of type \( \frac{1}{1+x} \).

Warning: THIS IMAGE METRIC IS CURRENTLY UNDER DEBUGGING. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Spatial correspondence between both images is established through a Transform. Pixel values are taken from the Moving image. Their positions are mapped to the Fixed image and result in general in non-grid position on it. Values at these non-grid position of the Fixed image are interpolated using a user-selected Interpolator.

Implementation of this class is based on: Hipwell, J. H., et. al. (2003), "Intensity-Based 2-D-3D Registration of Cerebral Angiograms,", IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 22(11):1417-1426.

Examples: Examples/RegistrationITKv4/ImageRegistration18.cxx.
