Table 1.

Correlation coefficients between the consistency metrics and actual registration errors, the associated two tailed p-value, and the percentage of beads where the actual registration error was larger than the consistency metric in question. The bottom 6 rows combine all deformation levels for the three types of consistency metrics and two deformation algorithms. The correlation coefficients where the p-value is larger than 0.05 are listed as not significant (NS).
