Detailed Description

A FEM solver characterized by accommodating outliers or noises in landmarks and advancing approximation to interpolation. This solver takes a FEMObject as input and outputs a deformed FEMObject.

* typedef itk::fem::FEMObject<3> FEMObjectType;
* FEMObjectObjectType::Pointer fem = FEMObjectObjectType::New();
* ...
* typedef itk::fem::RobustSolver<3> FEMSolverType;
* FEMSolverType::Pointer solver = FEMSolverType::New();
*
* solver->SetInput( fem );
* solver->Update( );
* FEMSolverType::Pointer defem = solver->GetOutput( );
* ...
*

For the purpose of easy-of-use, a FEMScatteredDataPointSetToImageFilter is developed to facilitate the use of this solver by hiding the details about the FEMObject. FEMScatteredDataPointSetToImageFilter takes a mesh and a feature point set as inputs and converts them into a FEMObject, then calls this solver to find the solution. Based on the solution and the user specified grid, a deformation field is generated.
