/** \class PointSetToImageMetric
 * \brief Computes similarity between a point set and an image.
 *
 * This Class is templated over the type of the input point-set and image.  It
 * expects a Transform and an Interpolator to be plugged in.  This particular
 * class is the base class for a hierarchy of similarity metrics.
 *
 * This class computes a value that measures the similarity between the values
 * associated with points in the point set and the transformed Moving image.
 * The Interpolator is used to compute intensity values on non-grid positions
 * resulting from mapping points through the Transform.
