Hi Tao,
The itkThinPlateSplineKernelTransform doesn't provide computation of
Jacobians. The API is there, but the method has not been implemented.
You should therefore use this Transform only with optimizers that do not
require derivatives from the Metric function.
You may want to look at the Amoeba optimizer and the OnePlusOne
evolutionary optimizers.
or....
if you feel courageous today, it will be great if you give it a shot at
implementing the GetJacobian() method in the superclass:
itkKernelTransform, and contribute it to the toolkit. :-)
Regards,
Luis
