I'd like to use landmark registration to get a rough first guess prior
to image registration. When I run IterativeClosestPoint2 with 4
landmarks, it complains about the number of landmarks:<br><br>vnl_least_squares_function: WARNING: unknowns(6) > residuals(4)
<br>vnl_levenberg_marquardt: Number of unknowns(6) greater than number of data (4)<br>Solution = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]<br><br>I'm
just wondering if there's an optimizer that would let me get away with
a minimum of three landmarks. Since 3 points would define a unique
location in 3D space, it seems to me that there shouldn't need to be
6. Indeed, if I simply duplicate all of my landmarks and fool it into
thinking it has 8 unique points, it comes up with a reasonable
solution. This is my backup plan if nothing else works, but it seems a
little messy. Any suggestions? Thanks,
