Hi Matt,
Good to hear about your progress!
your answers help me a lot!
There may be that there is a local minima that
> is catching the optimizer
Yes Matt, but the strange thing is that while the value of a metric is
little better the result is worse...should not be better? or nearly equal ?
As a first step, you can call SetNumberOfThreads on an
> Object
I had a compile error when trying to use this method (no exist member
funtion), I think it is no available in the ITKv4. I tried to use a
SetMaximumNumberOfThreads method, but do not notice any improvement in
performance.
or call itk::MultiThreader::SetGlobalDefaultNumberOfThreads
It seems a bit complicated to use Matt ...
There is a lot of interest in improving the mutual information metric
> performance
Yes, in my GA approach is critical the execution time of the
Metric...because it must be calculated for each individual in the
population. I think I have to use an alternative like a GA-Surrogate model
to improve my implementation.
Thanks Matt,
