Are there any documents about imregister?

Are there any published documents of this "imregister" function I could take a look for better understanding？ Thank you

The following block diagram from the doc is a good overview of the basic algorithmic approach:

Looking through papers, I'm having a tough time finding a seminal academic reference for optimization based approaches to image registration. They are frequently introduced in survey papers without comprehensive explanation as a well-known approach. It's also complicated because papers such as Viola-Wells tend to discuss specific modules within the algorithm (The Mutual Information Metric) without a detailed overview of the complete algorithm.

The following survey paper might be helpful, it focuses on the use of Mutual Information, but it also gets into the optimization process as the various types of numeric optimization that have been used in the literature.

thank you for you quick response, i look inside the imregister code, so it calls the ITK functions, i could take a look of ITK code

What about http://www.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/imregister.html ?

[wang wei]

thanks, but what is what is the paper to describe the algorithm detail

@wang wei: Not all algorithms implemented in Matlab are published in detail.
