AffineMatrix
AffineMatrix
\(4 \times 4\) affine matrix mapping voxel indices to world coordinates.
Stores the matrix as a torch.Tensor so it can live on the same
device as the image data. Named properties expose spacing, origin,
direction, and orientation. Composition uses the @ operator.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
matrix
|
AffineMatrix | Tensor | ArrayLike | None
|
\(4 \times 4\) array-like, |
None
|
Examples:
>>> import torchio as tio
>>> affine = tio.AffineMatrix()
>>> affine.spacing
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
>>> affine.orientation
('R', 'A', 'S')

data
property
The underlying 4x4 tensor.
device
property
Device the affine matrix resides on.
spacing
property
Voxel spacing in mm, derived from the rotation-zoom block.
origin
property
World coordinates of the first voxel center.
direction
property
3x3 direction (rotation) matrix, with spacing factored out.
orientation
property
Anatomical orientation codes (e.g., ('R', 'A', 'S')).
euler_angles
property
Euler angles in degrees (XYZ intrinsic convention).
Computed from the direction (rotation) matrix. All zeros means the image axes are perfectly aligned with the scanner axes; non-zero values indicate an oblique acquisition.
from_spacing(spacing, *, origin=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), direction=None)
classmethod
Create an affine from spacing, origin, and direction.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
spacing
|
TypeSpacing
|
Voxel size in mm along each axis. |
required |
origin
|
TypeOrigin
|
World coordinates of the first voxel center. |
(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
|
direction
|
ArrayLike | Tensor | None
|
3x3 rotation/direction matrix. Identity if not given. |
None

to(*args, **kwargs)
Move the affine to a device.
The affine always stays in float64 for precision. On devices that don't support float64 (e.g., MPS), it remains on CPU.
Returns:

clone()

compose(other)
Return self @ other as a new AffineMatrix.
Equivalent to using the @ operator.
apply(points)
Apply the affine to an (N, 3) set of points.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
points
|
Tensor | ArrayLike
|
Tensor or array of shape (N, 3). |
required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Tensor
|
Transformed points as a tensor, shape (N, 3). |
