// In this example, we will solve a simple multi-modality problem using another
// implementation of mutual information. This implementation was published by
// Mattes~\emph{et. al}~\cite{Mattes2003}. One of the main differences between
// \doxygen{MattesMutualInformationImageToImageMetric} and
// \doxygen{MutualInformationImageToImageMetric} is that only one spatial
// sample set is used for the whole registration process instead of using new
// samples every iteration. The use of a single sample set results in a much
// smoother cost function and hence allows the use of more intelligent
// optimizers. In this example, we will use the
// RegularStepGradientDescentOptimizer. Another noticeable difference is that
// pre-normalization of the images is not necessary as the metric rescales
// internally when building up the discrete density functions. Other
// differences between the two mutual information implementations are described
// in detail in Section \ref{sec:MutualInformationMetric}.

// Whenever the regular step gradient descent optimizer encounters that the

// since they tend to induce very erratic movements on the optimizers and

// You must note however that there are a number of non-trivial issues

// example, the number of bins used in the estimation of Mutual Information
// has a dramatic effect on the performance of the optimizer. In order to
// illustrate this effect, this same example has been executed using a range
// of different values for the number of bins, from $10$ to $30$. If you
// repeat this experiment, you will notice that depending on the number of
// bins used, the optimizer's path may get trapped early on in local minima.
// Figure \ref{fig:ImageRegistration4TraceTranslationsNumberOfBins} shows the
// multiple paths that the optimizer took in the parametric space of the
// transform as a result of different selections on the number of bins used
// by the Mattes Mutual Information metric. Note that many of the paths die
// in local minima instead of reaching the extrema value on the upper right
// corner.

// Effects such as the one illustrated here highlight how useless is to
// compare different algorithms based on a non-exhaustive search of their
// parameter setting. It is quite difficult to be able to claim that a
// particular selection of parameters represent the best combination for
