[ITK] [ITK-users] ERROR: MeanSquaresImageToImageMetric: Too many samples map outside moving image buffer

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Is this at the first iteration of after a few? Are iterations converging, diverging or erratic?

If it's the first it's an indication that initial transform is poor and they don't overlap much. There for the results of the transform initializer should be evaluated.

If it's after a few iterations, then is the iteration of the metric and optimizer needs to be examine. Is the value of the metric correct and correlated with the correct solution? Is the step size too big? Would smoothing the fixed and moving images smooth optimization? etc?

These registration examples are not designed to be turn key solution, they are a stepping stone to learn about the registration framework, and begin analyzing the behavior of the components so that a solution to your problem can be constructed.
