Feature-based registration

A collection of Java tools and HTTP services (APIs) for rendering transformed image tiles that includes:

• a JSON data model for render, tile, and transform specifications,
• a Java stand-alone render application / library,
• a set of render web services that provide RESTful APIs to persisted collections of tile and transform specifications, and
• a set of Java clients for processing/rendering data that utilize the render web services to retrieve and/or store persisted specifications.
• Docker packaging for building the libraries and deploying the render web services

The basic concept is to render images (tiles) based on transformation files, without having to store the big generated image from an alignment of tiles (mosaicking).

Align two images using intensity correlation, feature matching, or control point mapping

Together, Image Processing Toolbox™ and Computer Vision Toolbox™ offer four image registration solutions: interactive registration with a Registration Estimator app, intensity-based automatic image registration, control point registration, and automated feature matching. 

This python toolbox performs registration between 2-D microscopy images from the same tissue section or serial sections in several ways to achieve imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) experimental goals.

This code supports the following works and enables others to perform the workflows outlined in the following works, please cite them if you use this toolbox:

Free-D is a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and modeling software. It allows to generate, process and analyze 3D point and surface models from stacks of 2D images. Free-D is an integrated software, offering in a single graphical user interface all the functionalities required for 3D modeling. It runs on Linux, Windows, and MacOS. Free-D is developed by the Modeling and Digital Imaging team of the Institut Jean-Pierre Bourgin, INRA Versailles, France.
