deformation_to_points — REPRCONV algebra op

• Data kinds: deformation → points

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.deformation_to_points(deformation) (to call the implementation directly, import reprconv; reprconv.deformation_to_points(deformation); from the registry, opsreprconv.get("deformation_to_points"))

Usage

A TPS deformation → its control points (N,3). The exit from deformation.

Extracts ctrl from the dict returned by tps_fit. It is for viewing "where this warp is anchored" in the point-cloud vocabulary, and is one-way (the weights w and the affine term a cannot be recovered from the control points alone).

Args:

deformation: dict with ctrl (the return of tps_fit).

Returns:

(N, 3) float64.

Raises:

ValueError: not a dict / no ctrl / bad shape / non-finite.
