Getting started with ANTS
=========================

ANTS normalization with SyN solves the following equation:

.. math::

  \int_0^1  \|  v( x , t ) \|^2  dt  + \|  I ( \phi_I(x,1) ) - J(
  \phi_J(x,1) ) \|^2 

where the transforms contain affine and diffeomorphic maps.

The figure below illustrates the implementation of ANTS transformations:
