Matching, Aligning, Affine Transform [message #27353]

Has anybody written a routine to match two images or even better volumes? At
present I'm using a set of external programs (MIRIT, FSL-FLIRT both on UNIX)
to calculate translation and rotation of a float volume versus a reference
volume. The result is a 4x4 (affine) transformation matrix. (I posted some
questions about this matrix earlier). I'm thinking about writting the whole
routine myself because I'm not satisfied with the results of the UNIX
programs. Unfortunatly I probably don't have enough time for my internship
left to fully complete this. I want to base it on so called cost algorithems
(Woods functions, Joint Entropy etc). Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance,
Bob

I run into this problem and realized the source code
available for IDL is minimal..

a few suggestions:

1. grab dll-to-lib programs and create static libraries and link them to idl
2. if you have to present the source code, go get the free C code
of AIR and SPM and translate that into IDL.. (stupid thing but if
your instructor is a dumbass, that should get you off the hook)..

golden rule: IDL is a nice program, but only if you accept
its limitations... one of them is big confusement when it comes
to 3d transforms and such... the new image processing toolbox
for matlab does this with a single command...

i will not upgrade to 5.5 for sure... it still is behind matlab..

flame me for my words, i like some activity in the chan =)

But you are not comparing like products. The signal processing toolbox is
not a part of core MATLAB. It is an additionally priced product and you
have to pay extra maintenance to keep using it.

Really?
Please explain how the following demonstrates the superiority of MATLAB 6
over a quite old version of IDL:

< M A T L A B >
Copyright 1984-2000 The MathWorks, Inc.
Version 6.0.0.88 Release 12
Sep 21 2000

>> i=int16(1);
>> i=i+1;
??? Error using ==> +
Function '+' not defined for variables of class 'int16'.
>> i
i =
1

IDL Version 5.1.1 (IRIX mipseb). Research Systems, Inc.

IDL> i=fix(1)
IDL> i=i+1
IDL> print,i
2

To me, any product which can't do a simple 1+1 is not worth considering for
data processing.

Glad to oblige.
