[ITK] [ITK-users] Inverse of Versor Rigid Transform and RIRE

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Gabriel!

Trying to reproduce previous results is a good path forward.

If you are working with a current version of ITK, when you get the
inverse transform, it should transfer the Center for you. The Center
point locations are the FixedParameters for the parent class,
MatrixOffsetTransformBase. The relationship with parent classes can be
found by examining the Doxygen page for the class [1].

Do you get the same result by applying the TransformPoint() method of
the inverse transform? This is the API call that should be applied to
transform a point.

Thanks,
