Detailed Description

template<typename TFixedPointSet, typename TMovingPointSet>
class itk::PointSetToPointSetRegistrationMethod< TFixedPointSet, TMovingPointSet >

Base class for PointSet to PointSet Registration Methods.

This Class define the generic interface for a registration method.

This class is templated over the type of the PointSet and the PointSet to be registered. A generic Transform is used by this class. That allows to select at run time the particular type of transformation that is to be applied for registering the PointSets.

This method use a generic Metric in order to compare the PointSet and the PointSet. The final goal of the registration method is to find the set of parameters of the Transformation that optimizes the metric.

The registration method also support a generic optimizer that can be selected at run-time. The only restriction for the optimizer is that it should be able to operate in single-valued cost functions given that the metrics used to compare PointSet with PointSets provide a single value as output.

The terms : FixedPointSet and MovingPointSet are used in this class to indicate that the PointSet is being mapped by the transform.

This class uses the coordinate system of the Fixed PointSet as a reference and searchs for a Transform that will map points from the space of the Fixed PointSet to the space of the Moving PointSet.

For doing so, a Metric will be continously applied to compare the Fixed PointSet with the Transformed Moving PointSet. This process also requires to interpolate values from the Moving PointSet.
