// This example illustrates the use of the \doxygen{CenteredRigid2DTransform}
// for performing registration. The example code is for the most part
// identical to the one presented in Section~\ref{sec:RigidRegistrationIn2D}.
// Even though this current example is done in $2D$, the class
// \doxygen{CenteredTransformInitializer} is quite generic and could be used
// in other dimensions. The objective of the initializer class is to simplify
// the computation of the center of rotation and the translation required to
// initialize certain transforms such as the
// CenteredRigid2DTransform. The initializer accepts two images and
// a transform as inputs. The images are considered to be the fixed and
// moving images of the registration problem, while the transform is the one
// used to register the images.
//
// The CenteredRigid2DTransform supports two modes of operation. In the first
// mode, the centers of the images are computed as space coordinates using the
// image origin, size and spacing. The center of the fixed image is assigned as
// the rotational center of the transform while the vector going from the fixed
// image center to the moving image center is passed as the initial translation
// of the transform. In the second mode, the image centers are not computed
// geometrically but by using the moments of the intensity gray levels. The
// center of mass of each image is computed using the helper class
// \doxygen{ImageMomentsCalculator}.  The center of mass of the fixed image is
// passed as the rotational center of the transform while the vector going from
// the fixed image center of mass to the moving image center of mass is passed
// as the initial translation of the transform. This second mode of operation
// is quite convenient when the anatomical structures of interest are not
// centered in the image. In such cases the alignment of the centers of mass
// provides a better rough initial registration than the simple use of the
// geometrical centers.  The validity of the initial registration should be
// questioned when the two images are acquired in different imaging modalities.
// In those cases, the center of mass of intensities in one modality does not
// necessarily matches the center of mass of intensities in the other imaging
// modality.

  //  \end{itemize}
  //
  //  The second image is the result of intentionally rotating the first
  //  image by $10$ degrees and shifting it $13mm$ in $X$ and $17mm$ in
  //  $Y$. Both images have unit-spacing and are shown in Figure
  //  \ref{fig:FixedMovingImageRegistration5}. The registration takes $22$
  //  iterations and produces:
  //
  //  \begin{center}
  //  \begin{verbatim}
  //  [0.17429, 111.172, 131.563, 12.4582, 16.0724]
  //  \end{verbatim}
  //  \end{center}
  //
  //  These parameters are interpreted as
  //
  //  \begin{itemize}
  //  \item Angle         =                  $0.17429$     radians
  //  \item Center        = $( 111.172    , 131.563      )$ millimeters
  //  \item Translation   = $(  12.4582   ,  16.0724     )$ millimeters
  //  \end{itemize}
  //
  //  Note that the reported translation is not the translation of $(13,17)$
  //  that might be expected. The reason is that the five parameters of the
  //  CenteredRigid2DTransform are redundant. The actual movement
  //  in space is described by only $3$ parameters. This means that there are
  //  infinite combinations of rotation center and translations that will
  //  represent the same actual movement in space. It is more illustrative in
  //  this case to take a look at the actual rotation matrix and offset
  //  resulting form the five parameters.

  //  \end{verbatim}
  //
  //  This output illustrates how counter-intuitive the mix of center of
  //  rotation and translations can be. Figure
  //  \ref{fig:TranslationAndRotationCenter} will clarify this situation. The
  //  figure shows the original image on the left. A rotation of $10^{\circ}$
  //  around the center of the image is shown in the middle. The same rotation
  //  performed around the origin of coordinates is shown on the right. It can
  //  be seen here that changing the center of rotation introduces additional
  //  translations.
  //
  //  Let's analyze what happens to the center of the image that we just
  //  registered. Under the point of view of rotating $10^{\circ}$ around the
  //  center and then applying a translation of $(13mm,17mm)$. The image has
  //  a size of $(221 \times 257)$ pixels and unit spacing. Hence its center
  //  has coordinates $(110.5,128.5)$. Since the rotation is done around this
  //  point, the center behaves as the fixed point of the transformation and
  //  remains unchanged. Then with the $(13mm,17mm)$ translation it is mapped
  //  to $(123.5,145.5)$ which becomes its final position.
  //
  //  The matrix and offset that we obtained at the end of the registration
  //  indicate that this should be equivalent to a rotation of $10^{\circ}$
  //  around the origin, followed by a translations of $(36.95,-1.21)$. Let's
  //  compute this in detail. First the rotation of the image center by
  //  $10^{\circ}$ around the origin will move the point to
  //  $(86.52,147.97)$. Now, applying a translation of $(36.95,-1.21)$ maps
  //  this point to $(123.47,146.76)$. Which is close to the result of our
  //  previous computation.
  //
  //  It is unlikely that we could have chosen such translations as the
  //  initial guess, since we tend to think about image in a coordinate
  //  system whose origin is in the center of the image.

  //  You may be wondering why the actual movement is represented by three
  //  parameters when we take the trouble of using five. In particular, why
  //  use a $5$-dimensional optimizer space instead of a $3$-dimensional
  //  one. The answer is that by using five parameters we have a much simpler
  //  way of initializing the transform with the rotation matrix and
  //  offset. Using the minimum three parameters it is not obvious how to
  //  determine what the initial rotation and translations should be.
