NAME

mia-3drigidreg - Linear registration of 3D images.

SYNOPSIS

mia-3drigidreg -i <in-image> -r <ref-image> -o <out-image> [options]

DESCRIPTION

mia-3drigidreg This program implements the registration of two gray scale 3D images. The transformation is not penalized, therefore, one should only use translation, rigid, or affine transformations as target and run mia-3dnonrigidreg of nonrigid registration is to be achieved.
