Description

Fixes lazy resampling with the compiled extension (BUILD_MONAI=1) when align_corners=True, following @ericspod's confirmation that the native grid_sample path is the reference.

In spatial_resample, the compiled branch builds Affine(affine=xform, normalized=True, align_corners=True) from a matrix that is already in voxel space. AffineGrid and the compiled Resample then apply the align_corners=True scalings (d_out/(d_out-1) and (d_in-1)/d_in) on top of it, distorting the grid passed to grid_pull. For non-integer mode, the matrix is now pre-compensated so those scalings cancel. Integer mode is unchanged.

Verification (BUILD_MONAI=1 unless noted):

• test_affine + test_affined: 132 failed -> 0 failed.
• Wider set (spacing, resize, zoom, rotate, rand_* transforms): 10 failed -> 0 failed. Default (non-compiled) run: 0 failed, unchanged.
• Eager Spacing vs a plain F.grid_sample(align_corners=True) reference on three shapes: compiled was 0.2 to 0.5 off before, ~2e-7 after (native ~3e-8).
• Reproduces on CPU too, so not GPU-specific.

Test changes:

• Added test_lazy_rotate_align_corners_compiled (skipped unless the extension is compiled). It fails without the fix and passes with it.
• _TEMPLATE_5_COMPILED in test_spacing.py changed from 0.75 to 1.0. All sampled input coordinates for that case lie inside the image and the input is all ones, so 1.0 is the geometrically correct value. The native template (0.9553) looks like a unit-size-axis artifact and is untouched.

Note: BUILD_MONAI=1 must be set at runtime, not only at build time, for these tests to exercise the compiled path. Tested locally on RTX 3050 / WSL2 / PyTorch 2.14.1+cu132 (outside CI's range); not run on PyTorch 2.8 to 2.11 or through the full ./runtests.sh.

Walkthrough

When align_corners is true, the backend is NumPy, and the interpolation mode is 1, spatial_resample adjusts the voxel-space transform. A compiled-extension-only test compares eager and lazy RandRotate outputs. A compiled spacing test expectation also changes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 03ec6

The fix for compiled lazy resampling with align_corners=True may not apply to the common "bilinear" mode, so that case would stay distorted. Widen the guard to cover the compiled Torch path and confirm with BUILD_MONAI=1 tests before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a fix for compiled lazy resampling with align_corners=True. The changeset adjusts the matrix in spatial_resample for the compiled backend when align_corners is set, and adds tests for that path, so the title matches the primary change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It states the change, explains the cause and the fix, and gives verification results. It also marks the new-tests box and the non-breaking change box. The integration, quick test, docstring, and docs items remain unchecked, which the author states was not done. The description explains the test-expectation change in _TEMPLATE_5_COMPILED. The 'Fixes #' line is replaced by 'Related to #9112', which is a reasonable choice for a related issue.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 3 files.

Use descriptive matrix names.

Rename _s_inv, _d_inv, and _tm to identify the input scale, output scale, and translation.

As per path instructions, variable names must be “sensible and informative in regards to their function.”

Apply the correction to the compiled backend.

With mode="bilinear" and compiled resampling enabled, mode resolution selects backend=TORCH and interp_mode=1. This guard requires backend == NUMPY, so it skips the correction. The compiled Resample path then applies the align_corners scaling before calling grid_pull, leaving the distortion in place. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Gate the correction on the backend that actually uses grid_pull, while preserving any required NumPy order-1 handling.
