[ITK-users] Integrate new .h and .txx file as a part of ITK Framework

Fri Aug 11 17:38:08 EDT 2017

Hello Siming,

It looks like this publication is a little old (2007). A lot has changed in
ITK since this article has been written. The registration and
transformation framework has been greatly improved, and the ThinPlateSpline
can now be used in the registration framework (see [1]). If it is what you
were looking for, you may not need to integrate the code of the article you
mention in ITK.
As for using the code that is available in the Insighe Journal article, one
would need to first adapt the CMakeLists.txt file to be able to compile the
code (see the quick adaptation of the CMakeLists.txt I wrote below). And
then one would need to update the code to compile this project with a
recent version of ITK.

Francois

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)
# This is based on the Insight Journal CMake Template

#Change PROJECT_NAME to the name of your project
PROJECT(KERNEL_TRANSFORM)

ENABLE_TESTING()

find_package(ITK REQUIRED)
include(${ITK_USE_FILE})

#the following block of code is an example of how to build an executable in
#cmake.  Unmodified, it will add an executable called "MyExe" to the
project.
#MyExe will be built using the files MyClass.h and MyClass.cxx, and it will
#be linked to all the libraries you specified above.
#You can build more than one executable per project
ADD_EXECUTABLE(itkSplineKernelTransform2Test
itkSplineKernelTransform2Test.cxx)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(itkSplineKernelTransform2Test ${ITK_LIBRARIES})

ADD_EXECUTABLE(TPSDeformableRegistration TPSDeformableRegistration.cxx)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(TPSDeformableRegistration ${ITK_LIBRARIES})

#the following line is an example of how to add a test to your project.
#Testname is the title for this particular test.  ExecutableToRun is the
#program which will be running this test.  It can either be a part of this
#project or an external executable.  After that list any args that are
needed
#for this test.  Include as many tests as you like.  If your project
doesn't have
#any tests you can comment out or delete the following line.
ADD_TEST(SplineKernelTransform2Test itkSplineKernelTransform2Test)

ADD_TEST(TPSDeformableRegistration TPSDeformableRegistration
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/data/transformpoints.txt
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/data/BrainProtonDensitySliceWarped.png
