Why

Generic_Rigid registers the tutorial's organoid in 15 s and wrote a 95 MB Transform.ome.zarr: a rigid result, six parameters, sampled as a displacement field on a 50 × 680 × 535 grid. RFC-5 has affine for it. The ITK form had the same problem: a 437 MB DisplacementFieldTransform where an AffineTransform would do.

What

A preset declares transform_type: affine (elastix and FireANTs engines). Its engine returns the linear transform the stages found; EngineRegistration still hands KonfAI the field it samples, with the map in the output's header (konfai_affine), and the :itktransform and :omezarr backends write the transform in place of the field: an ITK AffineTransform file, or an OME-Zarr 0.6 store holding the RFC-5 affine alone (write_ome_zarr_affine / read_ome_zarr_affine, over z, y, x in the images' unit; ngff-zarr reads it with kind="transformation"). Dataset.read_transform decodes either store as it decodes a linear transform file.

The moved image, points, eval, apply and the 2-D projection read both forms. Refused when the preset is built, or before anything runs: a B-spline map or a deformable stage (no affine form), an ensemble, --tta and a tile pass (they average fields), and an image output format.

Measured

Organoid, Generic_Rigid, Transform:omezarr: Transform.ome.zarr 4 kB (was 95 MB), the scene pair.ozx 42 MB (was 141), all of it the two images. The same registration: plane correlation 0.895, nuclei Dice 0.916, and Moved.ome.zarr equal to ngff-zarr's resample through the affine to one grey level. The 2-D plane gives a 2 × 3 affine, correlation 0.90 as before; apply --labels through the affine store, Dice 0.914.

To follow

Generic_Rigid declares transform_type: affine on the voxel-units presets: the Hugging Face commit and the PRESETS_REVISION pin come as a second commit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Registration can output affine transforms as well as displacement fields using compatible linear presets.
    • Affine transforms can be saved and read in ITK and OME-Zarr formats, including 2D registrations.
    • Moved-image generation, evaluation, and landmark transformations support affine registrations.
  • Limitations
    • Affine output is unavailable for ensembles, test-time augmentation, unsupported deformable methods, and oversized tiled registrations.
  • Documentation
    • Updated guidance on registration outputs, affine options, and supported formats.

A preset declares transform_type: affine, and its engine returns the
linear transform the stages found instead of sampling it on the fixed
grid. KonfAI carries that transform as the field it samples, declared in
the header (konfai_affine), and the :itktransform and :omezarr backends
write the transform in its place: an ITK AffineTransform file, or an
OME-Zarr 0.6 store holding the RFC-5 affine alone. The organoid's rigid
result goes from a 95 MB field to twelve numbers, and the same scene
resamples to the same image.

The moved image, points, eval, apply and the 2-D projection read either
form. An affine is one pass's result: an ensemble, --tta and a tile pass
are refused for a preset that declares it, as is an image output format.
A B-spline map or a deformable stage has no affine form and is refused
when the preset is built. Generic_Rigid declares it on the voxel-units
presets; the pin follows.

Walkthrough

Registration can now produce affine transforms as well as displacement fields. The changes add affine metadata and ITK/OME-Zarr storage, update registration engines and orchestration to handle affine results, and extend 2-D plane workflows to lift and project affine transforms.

Changes: Affine registration support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Affine metadata and storage
konfai/utils/dataset/attribute.py, konfai/utils/dataset/core.py, konfai/utils/dataset/itk_transform_file.py, konfai/utils/dataset/ome_zarr_file.py, konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py, konfai/utils/dataset/__init__.py, tests/unit/test_affine_entry.py, tests/unit/test_omezarr_displacement_field.py
Dataset utilities encode and reconstruct affine metadata. The ITK transform and OME-Zarr backends read and write affine transforms, including RFC-5 axis and unit conversions. Tests cover round-trips, metadata, and unsupported formats.
Engine affine output
apps/impact_reg/impact_reg_konfai/models/{elastix,elastix_engine,fireants,intensity}.py, apps/impact_reg/tests/unit/{test_engine_contracts,test_fireants_contract,test_linear_start,test_elastix_maps}.py, apps/impact_reg/docs/parameters.md
Elastix and FireANTs accept a transform_type option and can return affine transforms. EngineRegistration samples affine results on the fixed grid and records affine metadata. Tests cover validation, empty masks, and affine-to-field conversion.
Registration orchestration and moved images
apps/impact_reg/impact_reg_konfai/impact_reg.py, apps/impact_reg/impact_reg_konfai/cli.py, apps/impact_reg/tests/unit/{test_orchestration,test_displacement_field_io}.py, apps/impact_reg/README.md, apps/impact_reg/docs/how-it-works.md, apps/impact_reg/impact_reg_konfai/__init__.py
Orchestration distinguishes fields from affine transforms, rejects affine presets in ensembles, TTA, and tiled runs, and derives moved images on the fixed grid for affine transforms. Documentation describes the supported transform outputs. The preset revision was updated.
Affine transforms in plane workflows
apps/impact_reg/impact_reg_konfai/plane.py, apps/impact_reg/tests/unit/test_plane.py
Plane workflows lift and project linear transforms, including RFC-5 OME-Zarr affine stores. Displacement fields retain their existing projection path. Tests cover ITK and OME-Zarr affine round-trips.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~55 minutes

Explanation

The description is detailed and focused. It explains the motivation, implementation, supported and rejected cases, measured results, and follow-up preset changes. It omits some template sections, such as a formal type-of-change selection, checklist, and explicit test commands, but the essential information is present.

Docstring coverage is 67.80% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 59 functions across 23 files.

A rabbit watched the matrices glide,
Through fixed-grid fields and affine stride.
In Zarr leaves, the numbers rest,
While planes lift and project their best.
The rabbit hops; transforms align,
And carrots mark the finish line.

overrides whose key is qualified by dotted prefixes, so the effective affine
declaration is detected before falling back to the preset. Preserve existing
handling of unqualified overrides and ensure affine outputs trigger the existing
preflight safeguards.

Review comments at @konfai/utils/dataset/ome_zarr_file.py:
- Around line 255-256: Memoize the parsed affine metadata or resolved affine
result by store path in the affine detection flow around _affine_entry, while
keeping the probe in file_to_data_slice for direct callers. Clear this memo in
_forget_resolved_paths and clear_ome_zarr_cache so invalidation and backend
replacement cannot reuse stale metadata.

…ffine probe

_declares_affine read a bare --set transform_type=... and missed the dotted
form konfai-apps resolves from the config root, so an ensemble or --tta run
declared affine that way went through. The affine-store probe parsed
zarr.json before every region a backend read; it is memoised per path as
the store parses are, and clear_ome_zarr_cache forgets it. The affine
orchestration test compares the recorded path with forward slashes, as
Windows writes backslashes.

Make affine transform encoding dimension-aware.

A 2-D OME-Zarr affine reaches _encode_transform_leaves as sitk.AffineTransform(2), but the current isinstance match assigns it AffineTransform_double_3_3. Dataset.read_transform then constructs a 3-D affine and applies the 2-D parameter vectors, so reading the supported store can fail. Register the 2-D affine tag and select the tag by dimension.

Generic_Rigid now declares transform_type: affine on the voxel-units branch
of VBoussot/ImpactReg (commit cfa1293), so that the published preset writes
its result as the affine this release introduces rather than a field. The
pin moves to that commit; nothing else in the presets changed.
