Points
Points
A set of 3D points with a named axis convention.
Stores an \((N, 3)\) tensor of coordinates alongside an affine matrix and an axis string describing the coordinate system.
The default axis convention is "IJK" (voxel indices). Points can
be converted to any other axis convention (including anatomical
systems like "RAS" or "LPI") via
to_axes.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
data
|
Tensor | ArrayLike
|
\((N, 3)\) tensor or array of point coordinates. |
required |
axes
|
str
|
3-character axis string (default |
'IJK'
|
affine
|
AffineMatrix | ArrayLike | None
|
\(4 \times 4\) affine matrix. Identity if not given. |
None
|
metadata
|
dict[str, Any] | None
|
Arbitrary metadata dict. |
None

Examples:
>>> import torch, torchio as tio
>>> pts = tio.Points(torch.tensor([[10.0, 20.0, 30.0]]))
>>> pts.axes
'IJK'
>>> pts.num_points

data
property
\((N, 3)\) tensor of point coordinates.
axes
property
3-character axis string (e.g., 'IJK', 'RAS').
affine
property
\(4 \times 4\) affine mapping voxel to world coordinates.
metadata
property
Arbitrary metadata dict.
num_points
property
Number of points.
device
property
Device the point data resides on.
to(*args, **kwargs)
Move point data to a device and/or cast to a dtype.
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Self
|
|
to_world()
Transform points from voxel to world coordinates.
Equivalent to self.to_axes(orientation) where orientation
is the anatomical orientation of the affine, but returns a raw
tensor instead of a new Points object.
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Tensor
|
\((N, 3)\) tensor in world (mm) coordinates. |
Source code in src/torchio/data/points.py
to_axes(target)
Convert points to a different axis convention.
Handles permutations within the same type (voxel ↔ voxel, anatomical ↔ anatomical) and cross-type conversions (voxel ↔ anatomical) using the stored affine.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
target
|
str
|
Target axis string. |
required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Self

Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
data
|
Tensor | ArrayLike
|
New \((N, 3)\) coordinates. |
required |
affine
|
AffineMatrix | ArrayLike | None
