Objective
Integrate the Masked FFT Normalized Correlation algorithm from ITK into Slicer so that the correlation map overlays correctly with the fixed image.
Approach, Plan
Corrected the output origin of the MaskedFFTNCC algorithm so that the fixed image falls directly in the middle of the output correlation map in physical space. With this alignment, each point in the output NCC map overlaps at the location in the fixed image at which the moving image provides that NCC score when centered at that location.
Progress
Submitted as an ITK gerrit patch and is in the process of being merged. After merging, it will be integrated into SimpleITK so that it can be called using the SimpleFilters interface in Slicer.
