Image registration

Image registration is the process of transforming different sets of data into one coordinate system. Registration is necessary in order to be able to compare or integrate the data obtained from different sensors/imaging modalities, at different times, from different view points, etc. . Registration can be based on correspondence established between the landmarks or feature points. Alternatively, some similarity/distance metric is established between the image intensity maps to navigate the registration process.

Register Virtual Stack Slices (Fiji)

Component
Description

This plugin takes a sequence of image slices stored in a folder, and delivers a list of registered image slices (with enlarged canvas). One of the images in the sequence can be selected by the user as reference and it will remain intact.

The plugin can perform 6 types of image registration techniques:

  • Translation
  • Rigid (translation + rotation)
  • Similarity (translation + rotation + isotropic scaling)
  • Affine
  • Elastic (via bUnwarpJ with cubic B-splines)
  • Moving least squares

All models are aided by automatically extracted SIFT features.

Source code

Installation

This plugin is bundled with the Fijij package.
