The application of image registration techniques resulted in the construction of an integrated atlas of Drosophila segmentation gene expression in both space and time. The registration method was based on a quadratic spline approximation with flexible knots. A classifier for automatic attribution of an embryo to one of the temporal classes according to its gene expression pattern was developed.
