[MINC-users] minctracc (matlab and measure options)

[mojdeh.zamyadi@utoronto.ca]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone of you has used 'matlab' and 'measure'  
options of "minctracc".

Here is the description of these two options in minctracc -help:
####################################################
Options for measurement comparison.
  -matlab: Output curves for selected objective function vs parameter. ""
  -num_steps: Number of steps at which to measure obj fn for matlab output.
              Default value: 15
  -measure: Output value of each obj. func. for given x-form. ""
####################################################
To use the -matlab option I type the following command:

minctracc -step 0.25 0.25 0.25 -simplex 1 -est_center  
-est_translations -w_translation 0.4 0.4 0.4 -lsq6  
My_Documents/mouseEmbryo/MRI/source.mnc  
My_Documents/mouseEmbryo/MRI/target.mnc -debug -verbose 3 -matlab  
testMatlab

and when I open 'testMatlab' file using matlab (or any text editor), I  
have the following:

tx = [
-0.400000 -2.074393 0.070810
-0.373333 -2.047726 0.069301
...
];
ty = [
-0.400000 -0.332535 0.078986
-0.373333 -0.305869 0.077093
...
];
tz = [
-0.400000 -0.219742 0.091168
-0.373333 -0.193076 0.087828
...
];
rx = [
-0.017453 -0.017453 0.064778
-0.016290 -0.016290 0.064691
...
];
ry = [
-0.017453 -0.017453 0.062866
-0.016290 -0.016290 0.062887
...
];
rz = [
-0.017453 -0.017453 0.064487
-0.016290 -0.016290 0.064405
...
];

(by ... I mean there are more rows that I didn't include here!!)

I am not sure what these numbers represent. Does anyone have an idea  
what these numbers are?

Thanks a lot,

Mojdeh
