It explains the theoretical foundation of the models of the target. and classifies them according to this basis. This results in two cat- Direct sum. egories, physically based models described by partial differential equations of continuum mechanics (e.g., linear elasticity and fluid Displacement vector of point in the space of flow) and basis function expansions derived from interpolation and the source image with components (u, v, w). approximation theory (e.g., radial basis functions, B-splines and Velocity vector. wavelets). Recent work on constraining the transformation so that it preserves the topology or is diffeomorphic is also described. The Vorticity tensor. final section reviews some recent evaluation studies. The paper con- cludes by explaining under what conditions a particular transfor- mation model is appropriate.
