[ITK-users] Question about LandmarkDisplacementFieldSource

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Siming,

To find the references, see the documentation for the KernelSplines:

  https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1KernelTransform.html

The Inheritance Diagram has links to specific splines and they also
have references.


If dealing with two point sets, you may also be interested in the
LandmarkBasedTransformInitializer:

  https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1LandmarkBasedTransformInitializer.html


Hope this helps,
Matt
