Currently mutual information (MI) similarity metric is available only for affine registration and not nonrigid registration. The student will need to implement, compare and test MI for nonrigid registration. The existing implementation provides examples for SSD and Expectation Maximization metrics. The MI method is expected to work slightly better than our existing EM method for multimodal images. This project will focus on multimodal images. If time is permitted the student can also investigate a tensor based metric for registration.
