(no parameters)
ngf This function evaluates the image similarity based on normalized gradient
fields. Various evaluation kernels are available., supported parameters are:
eval = ds; dict
plugin subtype. Supported values are:
sq ‐ square of difference
ds ‐ square of scaled difference
dot ‐ scalar product kernel
cross ‐ cross product kernel
ssd 2D imaga cost: sum of squared differences, supported parameters are:
autothresh = 0; float in [0, 1000]
Use automatic masking of the moving image by only takeing intensity values
into accound that are larger than the given threshold.
norm = 0; bool
Set whether the metric should be normalized by the number of image pixels.

thresholds, supported parameters are:
rthresh = 0; double
Threshold intensity value for reference image.
sthresh = 0; double
Threshold intensity value for source image.
PLUGINS: 2dimage/fullcost

processing. The actual similarity measure is given es extra parameter.,
supported parameters are:

Cost function kernel. For supported plug-ins see PLUGINS:2dimage/cost
debug = 0; bool
Save intermediate resuts for debugging.
ref =(input, io)
