[Insight-developers] some contributions

[Stefan Klein]

Hi all,

We have created some classes that are useful for us. We hope also for other 
people, so we would like to contribute them. The code can be found for 
download on:
	http://www.isi.uu.nl/People/Stefan/

- itkEulerTransform.h: This class is a wrap around the Euler2DTransform and 
the Euler3DTransform. In this way it is templated over the dimension, like 
other Transform-classes.

- SimultaneousPerturbation.zip: This class implements the so-called 
Simultaneous Perturbation method as an ITK optimizer. For more info on this 
optimization method, go to:
	http://www.jhuapl.edu/SPSA

- FullSearch.zip: This class implements a (semi-)Full Search optimization 
routine. This can be useful for research, to scan the optimization surface, 
or to evaluate the result of other optimizers. It allows the user to
specify which parameters should be evaluated, in which range.

Since we have contributed 3 things now, we also have a feature request; as 
a reward :-)

Would it be possible to add a public function to the 
MattesMutualInformationImageToImageMetric that forces the metric to select 
new spatial samples? This would be useful if you would want new spatial 
samples every iteration for example.

We hope that the contributions are useful. Any comments are welcome!!

Marius and Stefan.
