NAME

       registration - Rigid and affine registration

SYNOPSIS

       registration ReferenceImage FloatingImage

DESCRIPTION

       This   program  performs  rigid  and  affine  image  registration  using  multi-resolution
       optimization of voxel-based image similarity measures.

       --version
            Write toolkit version to standard output.

       --echo
            Write the current command line to standard output.

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

       --threads <integer>
            Set maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP).

   Automation Options

            image FOV center
