That allows * to select at run time the particular type of transformation that * is to be applied for registering the images. * * This method use a generic Metric in order to compare the two images. * the final goal of the registration method is to find the set of * parameters of the Transformation that optimizes the metric. * * The registration method also support a generic optimizer that can * be selected at run-time. The only restriction for the optimizer is * that it should be able to operate in single-valued cost functions * given that the metrics used to compare images provide a single * value as output. * * The terms : Fixed image and Moving SpatialObject are used in this class * to indicate that the SpatialObject is being mapped by the transform. * * This class uses the coordinate system of the Fixed image and searchs * for a transform that will map the Moving SpatialObject on top of * the Fixed image. For doing so, a Metric will be continuously applied to * compare the Fixed image with the Transformed Moving SpatialObject. * * The ImageToSpatialObjectRegistrationMethod is different from the rest of the * registration framework in ITK regarding the interpretation of the Transform * with respect to the Fixed and Moving objects. In most of the ITK * registration framework, the Transform computed by the optimizer is the one * that maps points from the space of the Fixed object into the space of the * Moving object. This direction of the transform is the one that makes easier * to resample the Moving object into the space of the Fixed object. * * In the particular case of the ImageToSpatialObject registration, the * Transform to be computed is the one mapping points from the SpatialObject * into the Image, despite the fact that the SpatialObject is called the * "Moving" object and the image is called the "Fixed" object. This change of * reference system is the consequence of using this type of registration in * applications that are based on Visualization. In the context of such * visualizations it is simpler to think in terms of the Transform that can be * used for displaying the SpatialObject in the appropriate position with * respect to the image. Since this process does not involve resampling, but * providing a Transform to a visualization routine, it is usually more * natural to use the Transform that maps points from the SpatialObject space * the image space. * * A full discussion of the Transform directions in the ITK registration * framework can be found in the ITK Software Guide. * * \ingroup RegistrationFilters * \ingroup ITKRegistrationCommon */ template< typename TFixedImage, typename TMovingSpatialObject > class ITK_TEMPLATE_EXPORT ImageToSpatialObjectRegistrationMethod : public ProcessObject { public: /** Standard class typedefs. */ typedef ImageToSpatialObjectRegistrationMethod Self; typedef ProcessObject Superclass; typedef SmartPointer< Self > Pointer; typedef SmartPointer< const Self > ConstPointer; /** Method for creation through the object factory. */ itkNewMacro(Self); /** Run-time type information (and related methods). */ itkTypeMacro(ImageToSpatialObjectRegistrationMethod, ProcessObject); /** Type of the Fixed image. */ typedef TFixedImage FixedImageType; typedef typename FixedImageType::ConstPointer FixedImageConstPointer; /** Type of the Moving image. */ typedef TMovingSpatialObject MovingSpatialObjectType; typedef typename MovingSpatialObjectType::ConstPointer MovingSpatialObjectConstPointer; /** Type of the metric. */ typedef ImageToSpatialObjectMetric< FixedImageType, MovingSpatialObjectType > MetricType; typedef typename MetricType::Pointer MetricPointer; /** Type of the Transform . */ typedef typename MetricType::TransformType TransformType; typedef typename TransformType::Pointer TransformPointer; /** Type for the output: Using Decorator pattern for enabling * the Transform to be passed in the data pipeline */ typedef DataObjectDecorator< TransformType > TransformOutputType; typedef typename TransformOutputType::Pointer TransformOutputPointer; typedef typename TransformOutputType::ConstPointer TransformOutputConstPointer; /** Type of the Interpolator. */ typedef typename MetricType::InterpolatorType InterpolatorType; typedef typename InterpolatorType::Pointer InterpolatorPointer; /** Type of the optimizer. */ typedef SingleValuedNonLinearOptimizer OptimizerType; /** Type of the Transformation parameters This is the same type used to * represent the search space of the optimization algorithm */ typedef typename MetricType::TransformParametersType ParametersType; /** Smart Pointer type to a DataObject. */ typedef typename DataObject::Pointer DataObjectPointer; /** Set/Get the Fixed image. */ itkSetConstObjectMacro(FixedImage, FixedImageType); itkGetConstObjectMacro(FixedImage, FixedImageType); /** Set/Get the Moving Spatial Object. */ itkSetConstObjectMacro(MovingSpatialObject, MovingSpatialObjectType); itkGetConstObjectMacro(MovingSpatialObject, MovingSpatialObjectType); /** Set/Get the Optimizer. */ itkSetObjectMacro(Optimizer, OptimizerType); itkGetModifiableObjectMacro(Optimizer, OptimizerType); /** Set/Get the Metric. */ itkSetObjectMacro(Metric, MetricType); itkGetModifiableObjectMacro(Metric, MetricType); /** Set/Get the Transfrom. */ itkSetObjectMacro(Transform, TransformType); itkGetModifiableObjectMacro(Transform, TransformType); /** Set/Get the Interpolator. */ itkSetObjectMacro(Interpolator, InterpolatorType); itkGetModifiableObjectMacro(Interpolator, InterpolatorType); /** Set/Get the initial transformation parameters. */ itkSetMacro(InitialTransformParameters, ParametersType); itkGetConstReferenceMacro(InitialTransformParameters, ParametersType); /** Get the last transformation parameters visited by * the optimizer. */ itkGetConstReferenceMacro(LastTransformParameters, ParametersType); /** Returns the transform resulting from the registration process */ const TransformOutputType * GetOutput() const; /** Make a DataObject of the correct type to be used as the specified * output. */ typedef ProcessObject::DataObjectPointerArraySizeType DataObjectPointerArraySizeType; using Superclass::MakeOutput; virtual DataObjectPointer MakeOutput(DataObjectPointerArraySizeType idx) ITK_OVERRIDE; /** Method to return the latest modified time of this object or * any of its cached ivars */ virtual ModifiedTimeType GetMTime() const ITK_OVERRIDE; #ifdef ITKV3_COMPATIBILITY // StartRegistration is an old API from before // the RegistrationMethod was a subclass of ProcessObject. // Historically, one could call StartRegistration() instead of // calling Update().
