[Insight-users] initialize VersorRigid3DTransform

[Johnson, Hans J]

So to the question:  "Is this (./Registration/Common/include/itkCenteredVersorTransformInitializer) class useful?"   I think the answer is "No".

I think that the itkLandmarkBasedTransformInitializer.h class does  initialize a 3D versor from a set of landmarks.  In ITKv4 there is also support for initializing Affine transformations.

So how can we help Dean?

Bill,

In ITKv4 the "Centered" transforms are likely to be deprecated.

Brian Avants and Luis Ibanez provided the following:


  1.  Rationale for removing the CenteredTransforms

The goal of the centered transforms was to attempt to optimize both the center of rotation and the transform parameters.  This leads to a poorly posed optimization problem because, as one changes the center of rotation, the optimization landscape also changes leading to unstable performance.


  1.  A recommended ITKv4 upgrade path for those using the centered transform

If you were using the centered transforms, we recommend replacing the centered transform with its non-centered equivalent.  Then, where one previously wrote:

transform->SetCenter(center)

one would now write

transform->SetFixedParameters(fixed_parameters)

where the fixed_parameters will depend on which transform is being used.   For matrix transforms, this will be the center of rotation (check this) and may be equal to the image's origin.    For dense mappings ( BSpline, displacement fields )  , this will be the image spacing, direction, origin.

Is this class useful?
./Registration/Common/include/itkCenteredVersorTransformInitializer

how can I initialize a VersorRigid3DTransform for a point set
to image registration problem using the following information:
1) center of the moving points, c
2) principal axes of the moving points, e1, e2, e3
3) center of the image calculated using the ImageMomentsCalculator, cofg
4) principal axes of the image calculated using the ImageMomentsCalculator, p1, p2, p3

where all variables above are double arrays of size 3?  Bascally, I would like
to be able to initialize the transform:
  ParametersType parameters( transform->GetNumberOfParameters() );

 //  Versor type
  typedef    TransformType::VersorType      VersorType;
  VersorType versor;

  parameters[0] = versor.GetX();   // Rotations
  parameters[1] = versor.GetY();
  parameters[2] = versor.GetZ();
  parameters[3] = 0.0;             // Translations
  parameters[4] = 0.0;
  parameters[5] = 0.0;


  transform->SetParameters( parameters );

but I dont know how the rotations should be initialized.  I could calculate a 3x3 rotation
matrix :
A = e * p
where e = {e1,e2,e3} and p = {p1,p2,p3} but how could that be used to initialize the
transform?
