[Insight-users] Thin plate splines

[Lisa Dean]

Hi List Users,


I know I've asked this many times but I haven't got a satisfactory answer
yet.  The thin plate splines implementation in ITK seems really confusing,
atleast to me. I tried reading the paper referenced in the implementation
but that paper is on Elastic Body Splines. I went through the txx files as
well. Could somebody explain the TPS implementation to me? Why cannot the
TPS be used as the transform in ICP and why does the TPS require the Amoeba
optimizer specifically?

Thanks a lot

Lisa
