<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi Anja,<br><br></div>Yes, the displacement field is to be applied to the image to warp it to the fixed image grid, so it is actually the displacement field is used in the inverse way, it tells the warper for every pixel of the new image where to look and interpolate from the input image space [1].<br>
<br></div>The terminology used in actual version is DisplacementField, I saw that the ExponentialDeformationFieldImageFilter class is being depreciated.<br><br></div><div><br>[1] <a href="http://www.itk.org/Doxygen45/html/classitk_1_1WarpImageFilter.html#a75c959bf6fe0d4108a8912723b6337da">http://www.itk.org/Doxygen45/html/classitk_1_1WarpImageFilter.html#a75c959bf6fe0d4108a8912723b6337da</a><br>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi Anja, <br><br></div>Yes, as far as I understand the concept, the velocity field lives in the tangent space of the manifold, while the displacement field is the actual manifold, arbitrarily curved. In practice the transformation between the velocity field (tanget space) and the displacement field (curved manifold) is done via the exponential chart, and the inverse via the logaritmic.<br>
<br></div>The exponential is a k times recursive composition of the field with itself starting from a scaled version of it by 2^(-K), such that the initial field is small enough [1]. That is the equivalent of integrating over the unit interval.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I am slightly confused by some terminology in ITK and I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to help me out on this.</div><div><br></div><div>As far as I understand, a deformation field is the vector field which describes the new <position> of a given point.</div>
<div><br></div><div>A displacement field, on the other hand, the distance and the direction that the point has moved. </div><div><br></div><div>ITK has this ConstantVelocityFieldTransform object. My question is what does the velocity field in ITK encode? If I integrate the velocity field over unit time would I get a deformation or a displacement field?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for any help you can give me.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div><div><br></div>-- <br>Cheers,<br><br>Anja
