I did cast my vote.
Unfortunately, I don’t find any of the offered names very self-explanatory.
This transform changes the image origin, spacing, and axis directions. I usually call this “image geometry” (I don’t know if this is correct or widely used), maybe it could be called “image space” or “physical space”, or something similar. Is there a term that is used for this in ITK? That could be used in the name.
For example, for me these names convey better what the filter does:
- TransformImageGeometryFilter
- TransformImagePhysicalCoordinatesFilter
- TransformImagePhysicalSpaceFilter
- TransformImagePhysicalCoordinateSystemFilter
Hello all (@dzenanz, @jhlegarreta, @hjmjohnson, @blowekamp, @lassoan),
Well known “scientific fact”: 20% of effort goes into algorithm development, 80% effort into algorithm naming.
Second and last poll. Added TransformImageGeometryFilter
as an option.
- HardenTransformImageFilter
- TransformEnforcementImageFilter
- PhysicalSpaceTransformComposeImageFilter
- TransformImageGeometryFilter

@lassoan, this is why we don’t do open polls, you might end up with Boaty McBoatface as the winner .
Looks like we arrived at a new consensus, TransformImageGeometryFilter
.
@blowekamp, as you volunteered to address other issues with the current filter implementation, as part of those changes please also modify the name to the new one. Thanks.
Hrmm… I am working on this now. But I’m going with TransformGeometryImageFilter
, because I believe its in the Style Guides and it keeps the spirit of the name
