[ITK Community] [Insight-users] 4x4 matrix to itkTransform

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Vikash,

To figure this out, start at the AffineTransform Doxygen documentation [1].

Looking at the Inheritance Diagram, we see it inherits from
MatrixOffsetTransformBase [2].  Looking at the implementation of
SetParameters in MatrixOffsetTransformBase [3] shows the order of the
parameters.

We can verify with some code [4].  The output is:

matrix4x4: 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
0 0 0 1

extendedPoint: [3.3, 2.8, -4.7, 1]
transformedExtendedPoint: [-1.2, 8.4, 18, 1]
parameters: [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 4, 8, 12]
transform: AffineTransform (0xe89710)
  RTTI typeinfo:   itk::AffineTransform<float, 3u>
  Reference Count: 2
  Modified Time: 16
  Debug: Off
  Object Name:
  Observers:
    none
  Matrix:
    1 2 3
    5 6 7
    9 10 11
  Offset: [4, 8, 12]
  Center: [0, 0, 0]
  Translation: [4, 8, 12]
  Inverse:
    1 0 0
    0 1 0
    0 0 1
  Singular: 1

transformedPoint: [-1.2, 8.4, 18]


And the output file:

#Insight Transform File V1.0
#Transform 0
Transform: AffineTransform_float_3_3
Parameters: 1 2 3 5 6 7 9 10 11 4 8 12
FixedParameters: 0 0 0

Hope this helps,
Matt
