/** \class PointSetToImageRegistrationMethod
 * \brief Base class for PointSet to Image Registration Methods.
 *
 * This Class define the generic interface for a registration method.
 *
 * This class is templated over the type of the PointSet and the Image to be
 * registered. A generic Transform is used by this class. That allows to select
 * at run time the particular type of transformation that is to be applied for
 * registering the images.
 *
 * This class uses a generic Metric in order to compare the PointSet and the
 * Image. The final goal of the registration method is to find the set of
 * parameters of the Transformation that optimizes the metric.
 *
 * The registration method also supports a generic optimizer that can be
 * selected at run-time. The only restriction for the optimizer is that it
 * should be able to operate in single-valued cost functions given that the
 * metrics used to compare PointSet with Images provide a single value as
 * output.
 *
 * The terms FixedPointSet and MovingImage are used in this class to indicate
 * that the image is being mapped by the transform.
 *
 * This class uses the coordinate system of the Fixed PointSet as a reference
 * and searchs for a Transform that will map points from the space of the Fixed
 * PointSet to the space of the Moving image.
 *
 * For doing so, a Metric will be continuously applied to compare the Fixed
 * image with the Transformed Moving image. This process also requires to
 * interpolate values from the Moving image.
 *
 * This class requires the Transform, the Interpolator, the Metric, and the
 * Optimizer to be explicitly set.
