Closes #696.

resample_bounding_box measures an ITK transform by walking the boundary of the transformed grid. That reports a linear map exactly and says nothing about what a displacement does strictly inside: a DisplacementFieldTransform whose field is zero on the boundary voxels and 60 pixels in the middle came back with the identity's region, and resample returned the default value for 64 of 4096 pixels, by up to 93.

The same interval that #695 reads off an RFC-5 field applies here, from data already in hand. A DisplacementField's parameters are the field, interleaved per point; a BSpline's are its coefficients, blocked per component, and the cubic basis is non-negative and sums to one, so either stage's displacement lies between its smallest and largest values. Both layouts are pinned against ITK itself: one distinctive value planted per component has to come back on its own component.

The walk then measures the list with those stages replaced by the identity, and the range they can add widens the result. In a composite the range is carried through the stages applied after its own: through the signs of a decodable matrix, or, for the orthonormal rotation family, into the ball its Euclidean reach bounds. A composition this cannot fold keeps the walk it has today, as do the other non-linear parameterizations, the velocity fields among them; the docstring now says which is which.

Zero joins the range unless a lone field's own lattice provably contains the grid, since ITK displaces a point beyond a stage's domain by nothing. That containment is what keeps a constant field an exact shift: the pre-existing tests pinning corners_min == {y: 3, x: 5} pass unchanged.

An oriented moving image grows through its direction: the corners are physical and widen by component, the start and size are indices and move through the direction's transpose, exact for the signed permutations RFC-4 orientations produce.

resample splits the list once before its block loop, so a field's parameters are scanned once and not per block; the graph's tasks keep the original list, only the regions walk the linear part.

Both ports. TypeScript's resampleBoundingBox had the same walk and gets the same split, fold and growth, with the layout and interior-bump tests mirrored.

The end-to-end pin is one output block over the whole grid against a single whole-image call: small blocks hide the miss by accident, their boundaries crossing the bump, which is also why the issue's 63-pixel measurement needed the block at stake. Sensitivity checked by neutralizing the split: the region and resample tests fail without it.

Python 1466 passed, TypeScript 717, prek and deno clean.

Base

On feat/py-stream-displacement-field (#695), which carries the interval machinery this reuses. It targets that branch so the diff here is this change alone; when #695 merges this retargets to main.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved resampling bounds for nonlinear ITK transforms, including displacement-field and B-spline transforms.
    • More accurately accounts for interior transform effects and direction-aware image growth.
    • Improves whole-block resampling correctness for transformed images.
  • New Features

    • Added support for decoding ITK transform matrices and offsets for advanced processing.

The boundary walk reports a linear map exactly and says nothing about what
a displacement does strictly inside the grid: a DisplacementFieldTransform
whose field is zero on the boundary voxels and 60 pixels in the middle came
back with the identity's region, and resample returned the default value
for 64 of 4096 pixels, by up to 93.

A DisplacementField's parameters are the field, interleaved per point; a
BSpline's are its coefficients, blocked per component, and the cubic basis
is non-negative and sums to one, so either stage's displacement lies
between its smallest and largest values. The walk measures the list with
those stages replaced by the identity, and the range they can add widens
the result, carried through the stages applied after its own: through the
signs of a decodable matrix, or into the Euclidean ball for the orthonormal
rotation family. A composition this cannot fold keeps the walk it has, as
do the other non-linear parameterizations, and the docstring says which.

Zero joins the range unless a lone field's lattice provably contains the
grid, since ITK displaces a point beyond a stage's domain by nothing; the
containment is what keeps a constant field an exact shift. An oriented
moving image grows through its direction, the corners by physical
component, the start and size through the transpose, exact for the signed
permutations RFC-4 orientations produce. resample splits the list once
before its block loop, so a field's parameters are scanned once, and its
graph keeps the original list: only the regions walk the linear part.

Both layouts are pinned against ITK itself, and the end-to-end pin is one
block over the whole grid against a single whole-image call: small blocks
hide the miss by accident, their boundaries crossing the bump.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Python and TypeScript resampling paths now analyze bounded ITK displacement-field and B-spline intervals. They combine physical and direction-aware index bounds with boundary traversal. Tests cover interior displacement, vector layouts, composite transforms, and end-to-end resampling.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 17539

The PR improves transformed-region bounds for nonlinear ITK transforms, but B-spline stages and smoothing-on-update displacement fields may still produce bounds that are too small in specific cases, which could crop output or substitute default values during resampling. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on these localized correctness issues.

Poem

A rabbit found a hidden curve
That boundary walks could not observe
It measured bumps from core to rim
And widened boxes just for them
Then hopped through tests with bounds secure

493-493: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Reuse _SPATIAL_DIMS instead of repeating the axis order.

itk_dims must use the same component order as resample_bounding_box, which derives it from _SPATIAL_DIMS. The inline ("x", "y", "z") literal duplicates that invariant. A future change to _SPATIAL_DIMS would leave the two orders silently inconsistent, and _direction_bounds keys its mappings by this order.

♻️ Proposed refactor

Add the import to the existing block at lines 17-26:

+    _SPATIAL_DIMS,
     _direction_bounds,
     _field_stream,

Then use it here:

-        itk_dims = [dim for dim in ("x", "y", "z") if dim in fixed_spatial]
+        itk_dims = [dim for dim in _SPATIAL_DIMS if dim in fixed_spatial]

Handle smoothing-on-update displacement fields as interval parameterizations.

Add BSplineSmoothingOnUpdateDisplacementField and GaussianSmoothingOnUpdateDisplacementField to both parameterization maps. Classify them with DisplacementField so their interleaved displacement vectors are read correctly. Otherwise the boundary-walk fallback can omit interior displacements and under-bound the result. Keep velocity-field parameterizations excluded.

The containment check read an entry's fixed parameters as a field's grid,
and a lone BSpline carries the same layout for its control lattice. That
lattice reaches spline-order points beyond the domain of support, so lying
inside it proves nothing about staying on the domain: coefficients all one
way could then carry the region off the points ITK displaces by nothing.
A BSpline keeps zero in its range unconditionally now, which only widens.

@vboussot thank you! 💖

The chained affines, displacement fields, b-splines I think could use more coverage. The b-spline coefficients have an odd memory layout if I recall correctly -- we should have more verification. I opened #727 as a follow-up.
