Hi Kerstin,<div><br></div><div>The paper you mentioned is the one that I had said about. Its on EBS, not TPS.</div><div><br></div><div>Also that doesn't tell me why TPS has beeen implemented in ITK the way it is, the optimizer preferred for instance and the fact that TPS has not been integrated into the registration framework already present in ITK.</div>

<br><div><br></div><div>Hi List Users,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I know I've asked this many times but I haven't got a satisfactory answer yet. The thin plate splines implementation in ITK seems really confusing, atleast to me. I tried reading the paper referenced in the implementation but that paper is on Elastic Body Splines. I went through the txx files as well. Could somebody explain the TPS implementation to me? Why cannot the TPS be used as the transform in ICP and why does the TPS require the Amoeba optimizer specifically?</div>
