This issue is to start listing features and plans for a general purpose BrainGlobe registration tool. We can discuss here, and then priorities features, turning these into issues and milestones.
Scientific requirements
Registration of any brain subvolume, including:
2D sections (any orientation, inc some damage)
Whole brains
Thick sections (e.g. from tissue clearing, acute recordings)
Small blocks (e.g. from tissue clearing or expansion microscopy)
Tech requirements
Python-based (compatibility with BrainGlobe & other bioimage analysis tools)
Includes a napari plugin for pre-processing and compatibility with BrainGlobe ecosystem
Registration using elastix (likely itk-elastix) due to community support and existing parameter sets
Includes default preprocessing options (e.g. using scikit-image)
Registers to any BrainGlobe atlas
Compatible with downstream BrainGlobe tools (brainreg-segment, cellfinder etc)
