Hi!
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am trying to add the VirtualDomain as an option to the SimpleITK ImageRegistrationMethod. I have does so here [1].</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This method for setting the virtual domain follows the SimpleImageRegistrationTest / Example by setting the VirtualDomain on the Metric[2].</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The test created in SimpleITK registers two gaussian blobs with a translation transform. The fixed image has it’s origin set to (5,100), and the FixedInitalTransform is set to a translation transform with the same 5,100 offset. This should map
 the 0-origined virtual domain to the same index on the fixed image, to essentially be an identity translation between then virtual domain and the fixed image when the origin and transform is take into consideration. This test fails with the following error:</div>
<div class="">
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class="">
<span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class=""><br class="">
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class="">
<span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">MeanSquaresImageToImageMetricv4 (0x66f8930): No valid points were found during metric evaluation. For image metrics, verify that the images overlap appropriately. For instance, you can align
 the image centers by translation. For point-set metrics, verify that the fixed points, once transformed into the virtual domain space, actually lie within the virtual domain.</span></div>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This is an indication the transforms are not being applied as I expect. My expectation of how the transforms should be applied here [3].</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Digging into the code, I see that the ImageRegistrationMethod always sets the VirtualDomain here [4], to the FixedImage. This clobbers the value set directly to the Metric as in the example/test[2]. Hacking the code to use the GetCurrentLevelVirtualDomainImage()
 does get my one case to work.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Suggestions on how to correct this issue, or a patch are welcomed!</div>
