NAME¶
make_initial_affine - Initialize affine transformation
SYNOPSIS¶
make_initial_affine ReferenceImage FloatingImage OutputXform
DESCRIPTION¶
Compute initial affine transformation by aligning centers of mass or principal
  axes
OPTIONS¶
  - --help
 
  - Write list of basic command line options to standard
      output.
 
  - --help-all
 
  - Write complete list of basic and advanced command line
      options to standard output.
 
  - --wiki
 
  - Write list of command line options to standard output in
      MediaWiki markup.
 
  - --man
 
  - Write man page source in 'nroff' markup to standard
    output.
 
  - --xml
 
  - Write command line syntax specification in XML markup (for
      Slicer integration).
 
  - --version
 
  - Write toolkit version to standard output.
 
  - --echo
 
  - Write the current command line to standard output.
 
  - --verbose-level <integer>
 
  - Set verbosity level.
 
  - --verbose, -v
 
  - Increment verbosity level by 1 (deprecated; supported for
      backward compatibility).
 
  - --threads <integer>
 
  - Set maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads
      and OpenMP).
 
  - --mode
 
  - Mode selection for initialization Supported values:
      "direction-vectors", "centers-of-mass",
      "principal-axes", "identity", where the default is
      "direction-vectors", or use one of the following:
 
  - --direction-vectors
 
  - Alignment based on image direction vectors [This is the
      default]
 
  - --centers-of-mass
 
  - Alignment based on centers of mass (translation only)
 
  - --principal-axes
 
  - Alignment based on principal axes
 
  - --identity
 
  - Create only an identity transformation
 
 
  - --center-xform, -C
 
  - Set transformation center (for rotation, scale) to center
      of reference image.
 
  - --native-space
 
  - Write transformation between the native image spaces,
      rather than in CMTK standard RAS space. This is the default when running
      this tool as a Slicer plugin.
 
  - --db <string>
 
  - Path to image/transformation database that should be
      updated with the newly transformation from reference to floating image.
      [Default: NONE]
