2-D local weighted mean geometric transformation

expand all in page

Description

A LocalWeightedMeanTransformation2D object stores information about a 2-D local weighted mean geometric transformation and enables inverse transformations.

Creation

You can create a LocalWeightedMeanTransformation2D object in these ways.

  • The fitgeotform2d function, which estimates a geometric transformation that maps pairs of control points between two images.

  • The images.geotrans.LocalWeightedMeanTransformation2D described here. This function creates a LocalWeightedMeanTransformation2D object using coordinates of fixed points and moving points, and a specified number of points to use in the local weighted mean calculation.

Syntax

tform = images.geotrans.LocalWeightedMeanTransformation2D(movingPoints,fixedPoints,n)

Description

example

tform = images.geotrans.LocalWeightedMeanTransformation2D(movingPoints,fixedPoints,n) creates a LocalWeightedMeanTransformation2D object that maps control points in the moving image, movingPoints, to control points in the fixed image, fixedPoints, using a local weighted mean transformation. The n closest points are used to infer a second degree polynomial transformation for each control point pair. You can select control points using the cpselect function.

Input Arguments

Control points in the moving image, specified as an m-by-2 matrix. Each row specifies the (x, y) coordinate of a control point. The number of control points m must be greater than or equal to n.

Data Types: double | single

Control points in the fixed image, specified as an m-by-2 matrix. Each row specifies the (x, y) coordinate of a control point. The number of control points m must be greater than or equal to n.

Data Types: double | single

Number of points to use in the local weighted mean calculation, specified as a positive integer. n can be as small as 6, but making n small risks generating ill-conditioned polynomials

Data Types: double | single | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | int8 | int16 | int32

Properties

Specify six control point pairs. For simplicity, this example calculates the moving point coordinates for a global second degree polynomial transformation.

x = [10, 12, 17, 14, 7, 10];
y = [8, 2, 6, 10, 20, 4];
 
a = [1 2 3 4 5 6];
b = [2.3 3 4 5 6 7.5];
 
u = a(1) + a(2).*x + a(3).*y + a(4) .*x.*y + a(5).*x.^2 + a(6).*y.^2;
v = b(1) + b(2).*x + b(3).*y + b(4) .*x.*y + b(5).*x.^2 + b(6).*y.^2;
 
fixedPoints = [x; y]';
movingPoints = [u; v]'
movingPoints = 6×2

Estimate a local weighted mean transformation that fits fixedPoints and movingPoints.

tform = images.geotrans.LocalWeightedMeanTransformation2D(movingPoints,fixedPoints,6)
tform = 
  LocalWeightedMeanTransformation2D with properties:

    Dimensionality: 2

Verify that the inverse transformation maps the fixed points to the moving points.

Algorithms

The local weighted mean transformation infers a polynomial at each control point using neighboring control points. The mapping at any location depends on a weighted average of these polynomials. The n closest points are used to infer a second degree polynomial transformation for each control point pair. n can be as small as 6, but making it small risks generating ill-conditioned polynomials.
