Classes demonstrated

template<typename TParametersValueType = double, unsigned int NDimensions = 3>
class TranslationTransform : public itk::Transform<TParametersValueType, NDimensions, NDimensions>

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

The same functionality could be obtained by using the Affine transform, but with a large difference in performance.
