Getting Started
---------------

The following code transforms a regular grid using a diffeomorphic curve parametrized ``theta``:

.. image:: https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg
    :target: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/imartinezl/cpab/HEAD

.. code-block:: python

    # Import cpab library
    import cpab

    # Transformation instance 
    T = cpab.Cpab(tess_size=5, backend="numpy", device="cpu", zero_boundary=True, basis="qr")

    # Generate grid
    grid = T.uniform_meshgrid(100)

    # Transformation parameters
    theta = T.identity(epsilon=1)

    # Transform grid
    grid_t = T.transform_grid(grid, theta)

.. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imartinezl/cpab/master/docs/source/_static/figures/visualize_deformgrid.png

In this example, the tesselation is composed of 5 intervals, and the ``zero_boundary`` condition set to ``True`` constraints the velocity at the tesselation boundary (in this case, at ``x=0`` and ``x=1``). The regular grid has 100 equally spaced points. 

.. code-block:: python

    T.visualize_tesselation()

.. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imartinezl/cpab/master/docs/source/_static/figures/visualize_tesselation.png
    :align: center
    :width: 500

The velocity field is formed by a continuous piecewise affine function defined over 5 intervals. The parameters ``theta`` represent a basis of the null space for all continuous piecewise affine functions composed of 5 intervals. In this case, we have used the QR decomposition to build the basis. See the API documentation for more details about the transformation options.

Taking into account the zero velocity constraints at the boundary, only 4 dimensions or degree of freedom are left to play with, and that indeed is the dimensionality of ``theta``, a vector of 4 values.

.. code-block:: python

    T.visualize_velocity(theta)

.. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imartinezl/cpab/master/docs/source/_static/figures/visualize_velocity.png
    :align: center
    :width: 500

We can visualize the generated transformation based on the parameters ``theta``:

.. code-block:: python

    T.visualize_deformgrid(theta)

.. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imartinezl/cpab/master/docs/source/_static/figures/visualize_deformgrid.png
    :align: center
    :width: 500

In addition, for optimization tasks, it is useful to obtain the gradient of the transformation with respect to parameters ``theta``. The gradient function can be obtained in closed-form solution. There are 4 different functions, one per dimension in ``theta``:

.. code-block:: python

    T.visualize_gradient(theta)

Installation
------------

As the compiled **cpab** package is hosted on the Python Package Index (PyPI) you can easily install it with ``pip``.
To install **cpab**, run this command in your terminal of choice:

.. code-block:: shell-session

    $ pip install cpab

or, alternatively:

.. code-block:: shell-session

    $ python -m pip install cpab

If you want to get **cpab**'s latest version, you can refer to the
repository hosted at github:

.. code-block:: shell-session

    python -m pip install https://github.com/imartinezl/cpab/archive/master.zip

Environment Setup
-----------------

Requirements
^^^^^^^^^^^^

**cpab** builds on ``numpy``, ``torch``, ``scipy``, ``ninja``,  and ``matplotlib`` libraries.

Python 3
^^^^^^^^

To find out which version of ``python`` you have, open a terminal window and try the following command:

.. code-block:: shell-session

    $ python3 --version
    Python 3.6.9

If you have ``python3`` on your machine, then this command should respond with a version number. If you do not have ``python3`` installed, follow these `instructions <https://realpython.com/installing-python>`_.

Pip
^^^

``pip`` is the reference Python package manager. It’s used to install and update packages. In case ``pip`` is not installed in your OS, follow these `procedure <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/>`_.


Virtual Environment
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

``venv`` creates a “virtual” isolated Python installation and installs packages into that virtual installation. It is always recommended to use a virtual environment while developing Python applications. To create a virtual environment, go to your project’s directory and run venv.

.. code-block:: shell-session

    $ python3 -m venv env

Before you can start installing or using packages in your virtual environment you’ll need to activate it. 

.. code-block:: shell-session

    $ source env/bin/activate


Source Code
-----------

cpab is developed on GitHub, where the code is
`always available <https://github.com/imartinezl/cpab>`_.

You can either clone the public repository:

.. code-block:: shell-session

    $ git clone git://github.com/imartinezl/cpab.git

Or, download the `tarball <https://github.com/imartinezl/cpab/tarball/main>`_:

.. code-block:: shell-session

    $ curl -OL https://github.com/imartinezl/cpab/tarball/main
    # optionally, zipball is also available (for Windows users).

Once you have a copy of the source, you can embed it in your own Python
package, or install it into your site-packages easily:


.. code-block:: shell-session

    $ cd cpab
    $ python -m pip install .
