// This example illustrates the use of the \doxygen{VersorRigid3DTransform}
// class for performing registration of two $3D$ images. The example code is
// for the most part identical to the code presented in
// Section~\ref{sec:RigidRegistrationIn2D}.  The major difference is that this
// example is done in $3D$. The class \doxygen{CenteredTransformInitializer} is
// used to initialize the center and translation of the transform.  The case of
// rigid registration of 3D images is probably one of the most commonly found
// cases of image registration.

//  The parameter space of the \code{VersorRigid3DTransform} is not a vector
//  space, due to the fact that addition is not a closed operation in the space
//  of versor components. This precludes the use of standard gradient descent
//  algorithms for optimizing the parameter space of this transform. A special
//  optimizer should be used in this registration configuration. The optimizer
//  designed for this transform is the
//  \doxygen{VersorRigid3DTransformOptimizer}. This optimizer uses Versor
//  composition for updating the first three components of the parameters
//  array, and Vector addition for updating the last three components of the
//  parameters array~\cite{Hamilton1866,Joly1905}.

  //  Let's execute this example over some of the images available in the ftp

  //  \url{ftp://public.kitware.com/pub/itk/Data/BrainWeb}
  //
  //  Note that the images in the ftp site are compressed in \code{.tgz} files.
  //  You should download these files an uncompress them in your local system.
  //  After decompressing and extracting the files you could take a pair of
  //  volumes, for example the pair:
  //
  //  \begin{itemize}
  //  \item \code{brainweb1e1a10f20.mha}
  //  \item \code{brainweb1e1a10f20Rot10Tx15.mha}
  //  \end{itemize}
  //
  //  The second image is the result of intentionally rotating the first image
  //  by $10$ degrees around the origin and shifting it $15mm$ in $X$.  The
  //  registration takes $24$ iterations and produces:
  //
  //  \begin{center}
  //  \begin{verbatim}
  //  [-6.03744e-05, 5.91487e-06, -0.0871932, 2.64659, -17.4637, -0.00232496]
  //  \end{verbatim}
  //  \end{center}
  //
  //  That are interpreted as
  //
  //  \begin{itemize}
  //  \item Versor        = $(-6.03744e-05, 5.91487e-06, -0.0871932)$
  //  \item Translation   = $(2.64659,  -17.4637,  -0.00232496)$ millimeters
  //  \end{itemize}
  //
  //  This Versor is equivalent to a rotation of $9.98$ degrees around the $Z$
  //  axis.
  //
  //  Note that the reported translation is not the translation of $(15.0,0.0,0.0)$
  //  that we may be naively expecting. The reason is that the
  //  \code{VersorRigid3DTransform} is applying the rotation around the center
  //  found by the \code{CenteredTransformInitializer} and then adding the
  //  translation vector shown above.
  //
  //  It is more illustrative in this case to take a look at the actual
  //  rotation matrix and offset resulting form the $6$ parameters.

  //  The output of this print statements is
  //

  //  Matrix =
  //      0.984795 0.173722 2.23132e-05
  //      -0.173722 0.984795 0.000119257

  //      [-15.0105, -0.00672343, 0.0110854]
  //  \end{verbatim}
  //  \end{center}
  //
  //  From the rotation matrix it is possible to deduce that the rotation is
  //  happening in the X,Y plane and that the angle is on the order of
  //  $\arcsin{(0.173722)}$ which is very close to 10 degrees, as we expected.
