Read Me

This package implements non-linear 2D image registration algorithms. 
To compile it, you should install the following packages first: 
	
OpenEXR - OpenEXR HDR image format: http://www.openexr.org
libpng  - Portable Network Graphics: http://www.libpng.org
libtiff - Tagged Image File format: http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/libtiff.html

What you have to install is: 

An ANSI-compatible C++ compiler - GNU g++ (>=3.3) (http://gcc.gnu.org) is known to work. 
The BOOST >= 1.33 (http://www.boost.org) library 
GModule >= 2.0, a library provided by glib >= 2.0 (http.gtk.org)
popt, the RPM-command line parsing library is needed 
(Doxygen, an automatic documentation generator is a plus.)

MIA: 
  This provides all the infrastructure needed for image IO, plugin handling, and command line parsing. 
  Currently there is no package ready, so you will need to get the subversion tree:
  svn co https://mia.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mia/mia2
  After checking this one out, do
	cd mia2
	sh autogen.sh
	./configure --prefix=<where you want this to be installed>
	make 
	(make check)
	make install 

Then you can finally install this package  
	sh autogen.sh
	./configure --prefix=<where you want this to be installed>
	make 
	(make check)
	make install 

Run a fluid dynamics based registration of two images a.png and b.png like: 

mia-nrreg2d -i a.png -r b.png -o ab.exr -V message -s 16 -p tri -m naviera:iter=400 -c ssd -t fluid

This will do a fluid dynamics based registration using the navier kernel with adaptive update, 
  a maximum of 400 SOR iterations, a start multigrid resolution of 16x16 (or what is close to 
  this by dividing the original size by 2^n). For interpolation, tri-linear interpolation 
  will be used. SSD will be the cost function and the result will be stored in ab.exr. 
The programm will write alle messages above the "message"-level to stdout.
