NAME

       mia-2dmyoica-nonrigid2 - Run a registration of a series of 2D images.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-2dmyoica-nonrigid2 -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mia-2dmyoica-nonrigid2  This program runs the non-rigid registration of an perfusion image series.In each
       pass, first an ICA analysis is run to estimate and eliminate the periodic movement and  create  reference
       images  with  intensities similar to the corresponding original image. Then non-rigid registration is run
       using the an "ssd + divcurl" cost model. The B-spline c-rate and the divcurl cost weight are  changed  in
       each  pass according to given parameters.In the first pass a bounding box around the LV myocardium may be
       extractedto speed up computation Special note to this implemnentation: the  registration  is  always  run
       from the original images to avoid the accumulation of interpolation errors.
