Bug 691774 (elastix)

Spec URL: http://mrceresa.fedorapeople.org/elastix.spec
SRPM URL: http://mrceresa.fedorapeople.org/elastix-4.4-1.fc14.src.rpm
Description: elastix is a program that registers (matches/aligns) images. 
The authors use it in their research on the registration of medical image data, 
but it may be used for any type of images.

It supports many registration methods, composed of various transform models 
(rigid, affine, nonrigid), similarity measures (for example mutual information),
optimisation methods (for example gradient descent), interpolation methods
(nearest neighbour, linear, cubic), and multi-resolution schemes. 
Components can easily be plugged in, to allow the user to configure his/her own
registration methods.

elastix is a command line driven program. Most configuration settings are defined 
in a parameter file. This makes it possible to use scripts that run registrations
with varying parameters, on large databases of images, fully automatically. 
In this way the effect of each parameter can be thoroughly investigated and 
different methods can be compared systematically.

The program is aimed at research environments. For most applications a nice 
graphical user interface will be desired, and optimised parameter settings 
for the specific application

CURRENT ISSUES:
- it bundles libANN. Needs to be removed
- build breaks with make -j 8 on my pc. Manually set to a lower values (-j 4)
- Documentation and examples not really packaged
