NAME

       fit_spline_xform - Fit Single B-Spline Transformation to Concatenated Transformation List

SYNOPSIS

       fit_spline_xform InputImage XformList

DESCRIPTION

       Fit  a  parametric  nonrigid  transformation  (B-spline free-form deformation) to a list of concatenated,
       optionally inverted, transformations.

OPTIONS

   Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools)
       --help
            Write list of basic command line options to standard output.

       --help-all
            Write complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output.

       --wiki
            Write list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup.

       --man
            Write man page source in 'nroff' markup to standard output.

       --version
            Write toolkit version to standard output.

       --echo
            Write the current command line to standard output.

       --verbose-level <integer>
            Set verbosity level.

       --verbose, -v
            Increment verbosity level by 1 (deprecated; supported for backward compatibility).

       --threads <integer>
            Set maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP).

   Fitting Options
       --levels <integer>
            Number of levels in the multi-level B-spline approximation procedure.  [Default: 1]

       --fit-affine-first
            Fit affine transformation first, then initialize spline with it.

       --final-cp-spacing <double>
            Final control point grid spacing of the output B-spline transformation.  [Default: 0]

       --final-cp-dims <string>
            Final control point  grid  dimensions  (i.e.,  number  of  controlpoints)  of  the  output  B-spline
            transformation. To be provided as 'dimX,dimY,dimZ'.  [Default: NONE]

   Input Options
       --inversion-tolerance <double>
            Numerical  tolerance  of  B-spline  inversion  in  mm.  Smaller  values  will  lead to more accurate
            inversion, but may increase failure rate.  [Default: 1e-08]

   Output Options
       --output <transformation-path>, -o <transformation-path>
            Path for the output transformation.  [Default: NONE]
