Compute Umeyama Transform

Group (Subgroup)

DREAM3D Review (Registration)

Description

This Filter computes the Umeyama transform between two unstructured Geometries. An "unstructured" Geometry is any geometry that requires explicit definition of Vertex positions. Specifically, Vertex, Edge, Triangle, Quadrilateral, and Tetrahedral Geometries are considered unstructured Geometries. The Umeyama transform estimates the affine transformation that maximizes the similarity (specifically, the covariance) between two n-dimensional point sets. For two unstructured Geometries, this has the effect of estimating, in closed form, the affine transformation that best brings the Vertices of the moving Geometry into the reference frame of the Vertices of the fixed Geometry. The algorithm may optionally incorporate scaling into the computation of the affine transformation matrix.

The moving and fixed unstructured Geometries do not need to be the same type, since only the Vertex positions are considered; however, the two unstructured Geometries need to share the same number of Vertices. This Filter will create an Attribute Matrix located in the Data Container of the moving Geometry in which to store the transformation matrix. Note that the stored transformation matrix will be in row major order.
