/** \class ImageToSpatialObjectMetric
 * \brief Computes similarity between a moving spatial obejct
 *        and an Image to be registered
 *
 *  The ImageToSpatialObjectMetric is different from the rest of the
 *  registration framework in ITK regarding the interpretation of the Transform
 *  with respect to the Fixed and Moving objects. In most of the ITK
 *  registration framework, the Transform computed by the optimizer is the one
 *  that maps points from the space of the Fixed object into the space of the
 *  Moving object. This direction of the transform is the one that makes easier
 *  to resample the Moving object into the space of the Fixed object.
 *
 *  In the particular case of the ImageToSpatialObject registration, the
 *  Transform to be computed is the one mapping points from the SpatialObject
 *  into the Image, despite the fact that the SpatialObject is called the
 *  "Moving" object and the image is called the "Fixed" object. This change of
 *  reference system is the consequence of using this type of registration in
 *  applications that are based on Visualization. In the context of such
 *  visualizations it is simpler to think in terms of the Transform that can be
 *  used for displaying the SpatialObject in the appropriate position with
 *  respect to the image. Since this process does not involve resampling, but
 *  providing a Transform to a visualization routine, it is usually more
 *  natural to use the Transform that maps points from the SpatialObject space
 *  the image space.
 *
 *  A full discussion of the Transform directions in the ITK registration
 *  framework can be found in the ITK Software Guide.
