Detailed Description

template<class TScalarType = double, unsigned int NDimensions = 3>
class itk::AffineTransform< TScalarType, NDimensions >

Affine transformation of a vector space (e.g. space coordinates)

This class allows the definition and manipulation of affine transformations of an n-dimensional affine space (and its associated vector space) onto itself. One common use is to define and manipulate Euclidean coordinate transformations in two and three dimensions, but other uses are possible as well.

An affine transformation is defined mathematically as a linear transformation plus a constant offset. If A is a constant n x n matrix and b is a constant n-vector, then y = Ax+b defines an affine transformation from the n-vector x to the n-vector y.

The difference between two points is a vector and transforms linearly, using the matrix only. That is, (y1-y2) = A*(x1-x2).

The AffineTransform class determines whether to transform an object as a point or a vector by examining its type. An object of type Point transforms as a point; an object of type Vector transforms as a vector.

One common use of affine transformations is to define coordinate conversions in two- and three-dimensional space. In this application, x is a two- or three-dimensional vector containing the "source" coordinates of a point, y is a vector containing the "target" coordinates, the matrix A defines the scaling and rotation of the coordinate systems from the source to the target, and b defines the translation of the origin from the source to the target. More generally, A can also define anisotropic scaling and shearing transformations. Any good textbook on computer graphics will discuss coordinate transformations in more detail. Several of the methods in this class are designed for this purpose and use the language appropriate to coordinate conversions.

Any two affine transformations may be composed and the result is another affine transformation. However, the order is important. Given two affine transformations T1 and T2, we will say that "precomposing T1 with T2" yields the transformation which applies T1 to the source, and then applies T2 to that result to obtain the target. Conversely, we will say that "postcomposing T1 with T2" yields the transformation which applies T2 to the source, and then applies T1 to that result to obtain the target. (Whether T1 or T2 comes first lexicographically depends on whether you choose to write mappings from right-to-left or vice versa; we avoid the whole problem by referring to the order of application rather than the textual order.)

There are two template parameters for this class:

ScalarT The type to be used for scalar numeric values. Either float or double.

NDimensions The number of dimensions of the vector space.

This class provides several methods for setting the matrix and vector defining the transform. To support the registration framework, the transform parameters can also be set as an Array<double> of size (NDimension + 1) * NDimension using method SetParameters(). The first (NDimension x NDimension) parameters defines the matrix in row-major order (where the column index varies the fastest). The last NDimension parameters defines the translation in each dimensions.

This class also supports the specification of a center of rotation (center) and a translation that is applied with respect to that centered rotation. By default the center of rotation is set to the origin.
