CPAC.registration.create_wf_calculate_ants_warp(name='create_wf_calculate_ants_warp', num_threads=1, reg_ants_skull=1)[source]¶

Calculates the nonlinear ANTS registration transform. This workflow employs the antsRegistration tool:

http://stnava.github.io/ANTs/

Parameters:: name (string, optional) – Name of the workflow.
Returns:: calc_ants_warp_wf
Return type:: nipype.pipeline.engine.Workflow

Notes

Some of the inputs listed below are lists or lists of lists. This is because antsRegistration can perform multiple stages of calculations depending on how the user configures their registration.

For example, if one wants to employ a different metric (with different parameters) at each stage, the lists would be configured like this:

warp_wf.inputs.inputspec.transforms = [‘Rigid’,’Affine’,’SyN’] warp_wf.inputs.inputspec.transform_parameters = [[0.1],[0.1],[0.1,3,0]]

..where each element in the first list is a metric to be used at each stage, ‘Rigid’ being for stage 1, ‘Affine’ for stage 2, etc. The lists within the list for transform_parameters would then correspond to each stage’s metric, with [0.1] applying to ‘Rigid’ and ‘Affine’ (stages 1 and 2), and [0.1,3,0] applying to ‘SyN’ of stage 3.

In some cases, when a parameter is not needed for a stage, ‘None’ must be entered in its place if there are other parameters for other stages.
