Add support for interactive registration

[K-Meech]

It would be great to support different registration methods in MoBIE e.g.

• manual registration
• bigwarp
• elastix

@NicoKiaru
What's the status of the BigWarp integration with BDV-Playground?
Could we just enable it in MoBIE?
If so, could you point me to the relevant code to do so?

[NicoKiaru]

You can look for "Launch BigWarp" in Fiji's search bar.

The command:

https://github.com/bigdataviewer/bigdataviewer-playground/blob/master/src/main/java/sc/fiji/bdvpg/scijava/command/source/BigWarpLauncherCommand.java

The 'action':

https://github.com/bigdataviewer/bigdataviewer-playground/blob/master/src/main/java/sc/fiji/bdvpg/sourceandconverter/register/BigWarpLauncher.java

@NicoKiaru Thanks a lot!
This is the output, right?

BigWarpLauncher bwl = new BigWarpLauncher(movingSacs, fixedSacs, bigwarpname, converterSetups);
// ...   
// Output
gridsource = bwl.getGridSource();
warpmagnitudesource = bwl.getWarpMagnitudeSource();
warpedsources = bwl.getWarpedSources();

Is there some way to only enable affine transform (or only rigid) registration in bigWarp and then get back the affine transform?

In fact, in my use-case the movingSacs are TransformedSource already and I think it would be OK if their sourceTransform was directly modified by the registration.

Yes then you can probably get the transformed source, get its transform, and build a new Transformed source out of it ?

@NicoKiaru
What is this doing?

		// Output bdvh handles -> will be put in the object service
		bdvhq = bigWarpLauncher.getBdvHandleQ();
		bdvhp = bigWarpLauncher.getBdvHandleP();

		bdvDisplayService.pairClosing(bdvhq, bdvhp);

Wohoooo!

@NicoKiaru @bogovicj Amazing! Took me just ~45 minutes to make BigWarp work in MoBIE 🥳

@bogovicj what would be cool now would be a way for the user to "Cancel" in a way that MoBIE knows that it should not apply the transformation and revert back to the original SourceTransform.
So, I would need something in BigWarp that says "Cancel" and that I could listen to.
Or, I guess we could have an own little window pop up in MoBIE with two buttons: "Apply transform in MoBIE" and "Cancel". What do you think?

[tischi]

@NicoKiaru @bogovicj When launching BigWarp the second time, I have more sources (Bigwarp *) in the source tree, do you know why they are there and how I could avoid this?

[tischi]

...ideal would be if it would only show the MoBIE - BigDataViewer sources. I think this should be possible by means of some SourceAndConverterProvider for the BdvPlaygroundActionCommand, is it? I don't remember the details...
