Detailed Description

Abstract base for object-to-object optimizers.

The goal of this optimizer hierarchy is to work with metrics of any type, i.e. working with any kind of object, such as image or point-set.

Transform parameters are not manipulated directly. Instead, the optimizer retrieves the metric derivative from the metric, modifies the derivative as required, then passes it back to the metric as an update. The metric then processes it as appropriate, typically by passing it to its transform that is being optimized.

SetScales() allows setting of a per-local-parameter scaling array. The gradient of each local parameter is divided by the corresponding scale. If unset, the m_Scales array will be initialized to all 1's. Note that when used with transforms with local support, these scales correspond to each local parameter, and not to each parameter. For example, in a DisplacementFieldTransform of dimensionality N, the Scales is size N, with each element corresponding to a dimension within the transform's displacement field, and is applied to each vector in the displacement field.

SetWeights() allows setting of a per-local-parameter weighting array. If unset, the weights are treated as identity. Weights are multiplied by the gradient at the same time scaling is applied. Weights are different than scales, and may be used, for example, to easily mask out a particular parameter during optimzation to hold it constant. Or they may be used to apply another kind of prior knowledge.

Threading of some optimizer operations may be handled within derived classes, for example in GradientDescentOptimizer.

Note
Derived classes must override StartOptimization, and then call this base class version to perform common initializations.

virtual

Accessors for Metric

virtual void itk::ObjectToObjectOptimizerBase::SetNumberOfThreads ( ThreadIdType  number)
virtual

virtual void itk::ObjectToObjectOptimizerBase::StartOptimization ( bool  doOnlyInitialization = false)
virtual

Run the optimization.

Parameters
doOnlyInitializationThis is false by default. It should only be set to true for special cases when the class should be initialized to perform optimization, but no optimization should be run. For example, itkMultiGradientOptimizerv4 needs to do this.
Note
Derived classes must override and call this superclass method, then perform any additional initialization before performing optimization.
