Align Tiled Channels ( IAAlignTiledChannels )

Parameters:
Name Short Name Type Description
Number of tiles in x tilesx integer The image consists of this number of equal sized tiles in x dimension.
Number of tiles in y tilesy integer The image consists of this number of equal sized tiles in y dimension.
Sub pixel accuracy subpixel boolean If Yes then interpolated images are compared.
Magnification factor magnification real The sub pixel precision is 1/magnification
Working image size, exponent of 2 workingsize integer Magnified images will be cropped to 2^size quadrangular. No crop if 0.
Based on single frame singleframeonly boolean Calculates shift from first few frames, then aligns the whole time lapse. No aligns each frame of the time lapse. The number of frames is set by the value used for ΔF/F0 averaging in the Preferences
Interpolation type type string Interpolation used for the transformation. Affects the smoothness of the result.
Transform all linked images allinkedimages boolean If yes not just Image A, but all linked images are transformed. Valid only if B is not linked.
Cancel transformation if the shift is greater cancelshift real Does not perform transformation if the absolute shift in pixels is larger than the given value. Zero disables this feature.
Based on frame(s) basedonframes string Calculates shift from first or last frames.
Description:
Aligns Image A to register with B based on sub-pixel cross correlation maxima calculated for each frame.
Thus, Image A is moved to register with image B.
Image B does not have to be necessarily linked to Image A. In this case using the "Transform all linked images" parameter all images linked to A are transformed based on the alignment of A to B.
When sub pixel accuracy is enabled, the middle of the image is magnified to quadrangular (hidden) image defined by the working size, and the detection of dislocation is performed in the magnified image. Then the original image series is transformed. If Image B is not linked to Image A the alignment will be performed based on the first frame.
WARNING: Transforming all linked images is not parallel processing aware, so it requires proper pipeline design to prevent collision of this process with others. In such case use the "Wait for all inputs" function.
Tiled operation: each frame of the tile is aligned independently. The resulting gaps are filled with MASK values.
