Module Description
This command line module implements a registration algorithm based on the Mattes mutual information registration metric and the affine transformation. Both the fixed and moving images may be optionally smoothed before registration.
Usage
Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials
- This module is often used to align images of different subjects.
- The affine transformation allows a limited degree of deformation and frequently is used as a pre-processing step for higher order transformations such as the BSpline and Demons.

Development
Dependencies
No other modules are required for this module.
Limitations
The module uses an itkOrientImageFilter to realign the fixed and moving images to axial before registration. This is required due to limitations in ITK's handling of non-axial images in filters used by registration.
Known bugs
