From cac7e8c848d02ba7970c39d37a68e18b67cc5b53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Soumya Snigdha Kundu Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 14:35:17 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix align_corners mismatch in AffineTransform The AffineTransform class was using inconsistent align_corners values: - to_norm_affine was hardcoded to use align_corners=False - affine_grid and grid_sample were using self.align_corners (default=True) This mismatch caused a half-pixel offset between coordinate systems, leading to incorrect spatial transformations. Changes: - Pass self.align_corners to to_norm_affine for consistent behavior - Update test expected values to reflect corrected behavior - Add test cases for align_corners consistency verification Fixes #8688 Signed-off-by: Soumya Snigdha Kundu --- monai/networks/layers/spatial_transforms.py | 2 +- monai/transforms/lazy/utils.py | 10 +++- .../networks/layers/test_affine_transform.py | 53 +++++++++++++++++-- tests/transforms/test_affine.py | 14 +++-- tests/transforms/test_affined.py | 12 ++--- 5 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/monai/networks/layers/spatial_transforms.py b/monai/networks/layers/spatial_transforms.py index 2d39dfdbc1..6ce9979a80 100644 --- a/monai/networks/layers/spatial_transforms.py +++ b/monai/networks/layers/spatial_transforms.py @@ -566,7 +566,7 @@ def forward( affine=theta, src_size=src_size[2:], dst_size=dst_size[2:], - align_corners=False, + align_corners=self.align_corners, zero_centered=self.zero_centered, ) if self.reverse_indexing: diff --git a/monai/transforms/lazy/utils.py b/monai/transforms/lazy/utils.py index 359559e319..ba2fb2628b 100644 --- a/monai/transforms/lazy/utils.py +++ b/monai/transforms/lazy/utils.py @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ from monai.config import NdarrayOrTensor from monai.data.utils import AFFINE_TOL from monai.transforms.utils_pytorch_numpy_unification import allclose -from monai.utils import LazyAttr, convert_to_numpy, convert_to_tensor, look_up_option +from monai.utils import LazyAttr, TraceKeys, convert_to_numpy, convert_to_tensor, look_up_option __all__ = ["resample", "combine_transforms"] @@ -101,7 +101,13 @@ def kwargs_from_pending(pending_item): ret[LazyAttr.SHAPE] = pending_item[LazyAttr.SHAPE] if LazyAttr.DTYPE in pending_item: ret[LazyAttr.DTYPE] = pending_item[LazyAttr.DTYPE] - return ret # adding support of pending_item['extra_info']?? + # Extract align_corners from extra_info if available + extra_info = pending_item.get(TraceKeys.EXTRA_INFO) + if isinstance(extra_info, dict) and "align_corners" in extra_info: + align_corners_val = extra_info["align_corners"] + if isinstance(align_corners_val, bool): + ret[LazyAttr.ALIGN_CORNERS] = align_corners_val + return ret def is_compatible_apply_kwargs(kwargs_1, kwargs_2): diff --git a/tests/networks/layers/test_affine_transform.py b/tests/networks/layers/test_affine_transform.py index 627a4cb1b9..e57a9f4c14 100644 --- a/tests/networks/layers/test_affine_transform.py +++ b/tests/networks/layers/test_affine_transform.py @@ -154,21 +154,21 @@ def test_zoom_1(self): affine = torch.as_tensor([[2.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0, 0.0]]) image = torch.arange(1.0, 13.0).view(1, 1, 3, 4).to(device=torch.device("cpu:0")) out = AffineTransform()(image, affine, (1, 4)) - expected = [[[[2.333333, 3.333333, 4.333333, 5.333333]]]] + expected = [[[[5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0]]]] np.testing.assert_allclose(out, expected, atol=_rtol) def test_zoom_2(self): affine = torch.as_tensor([[2.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 2.0, 0.0]], dtype=torch.float32) image = torch.arange(1.0, 13.0).view(1, 1, 3, 4).to(device=torch.device("cpu:0")) out = AffineTransform((1, 2))(image, affine) - expected = [[[[1.458333, 4.958333]]]] + expected = [[[[5.0, 7.0]]]] np.testing.assert_allclose(out, expected, atol=1e-5, rtol=_rtol) def test_zoom_zero_center(self): affine = torch.as_tensor([[2.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 2.0, 0.0]], dtype=torch.float32) image = torch.arange(1.0, 13.0).view(1, 1, 3, 4).to(device=torch.device("cpu:0")) out = AffineTransform((1, 2), zero_centered=True)(image, affine) - expected = [[[[5.5, 7.5]]]] + expected = [[[[5.0, 8.0]]]] np.testing.assert_allclose(out, expected, atol=1e-5, rtol=_rtol) def test_affine_transform_minimum(self): @@ -380,6 +380,53 @@ def test_forward_3d(self): np.testing.assert_allclose(actual, expected) np.testing.assert_allclose(list(theta.shape), [1, 3, 4]) + def test_align_corners_consistency(self): + """ + Test that align_corners is consistently used between to_norm_affine and grid_sample. + + With an identity affine transform, the output should match the input regardless of + the align_corners setting.
