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.

Description

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:

  • Advanced Registration and Analysis of MALDI Imaging Mass Spectrometry Measurements through Autofluorescence Microscopy10.1021/acs.analchem.8b02884

  • Next Generation Histology-directed Imaging Mass Spectrometry Driven by Autofluorescence Microscopy10.1021/acs.analchem.8b02885

Description

The Binary Pattern Dictionary Learning (BPDL) package is suitable for image analysis on a set/sequence of images to determine an atlas of a compact region. In particular, the application can be maping gene activation accross many samples, brain activations in a time domain, etc.

Description

BIRL stands for "Benchmark on Image Registration methods with Landmark validation". BIRL is a cross-platform framework for comparison of image registration methods with landmark validation (registration precision is measured by user landmarks). The project contains a set of sample images with related landmark annotations and experimental evaluation of state-of-the-art image registration methods.

Some key features of the framework:

  • automatic execution of image registration of a sequence of image pairs
  • integrated evaluation of registration performances using Target Registration Error (TRE)
  • integrated visualization of performed registration
  • running several image registration experiment in parallel
  • resuming unfinished sequence of registration benchmark
  • handling around dataset and creating own experiments
  • rerun evaluation and visualisation for finished experiments
