elastix was originally created as a command line tool to aid image registration, but nowadays many sub-projects and wraps of elastix, that make the toolbox available in other languages or in a GUI, exist. This was done to accommodate users of various programming and non-programming backgrounds within the image registration community. These sub-projects, their programming language and the way of installation are:
-
elastix: command tool and c++ library, latest binaries on GitHub Release page -
ITKElastix: Python, available on Pypi -
SimpleElastix: Python, Java, R, Ruby, Octave, Lua, Tcl and C#, for compilation and installation see SimpleElastix docs -
elastix docker image: Docker image, available on DockerHub
and for non-coders:
-
elastix_napari: Napari plugin, available on Pypi
To get started with elastix you can do the following:
- Check out the example of usage: elastix-4.9.0-example.zip
- Check out the manual. It will tell you about the technique of image registration and informs about the structure and use of
elastix. Chapter 5 gives some general advice on how to tune the registration for a specific application. - A list of parameters that can be specified in the parameter file can be found here.
- Also check out the Model Zoo. There you can find a growing list of parameter files that were successfully applied in applications of
elastixusers. Maybe you can find a problem similar to your own!
You can subscribe to the elastix-imageregistration Google forum to stay informed about new developments of elastix, and to communicate with other users and the developers. You can participate via https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/elastix-imageregistration.
