ENH: Integrate downsampling in BSplineApprox when the input is high-res #301

Adds a new input zooms_min that will trigger the downsampling of the input field map when it comes with a very high resolution (typically, this is the case for SDC SyN).

Although the input is resampled, the output field is interpolated at the original resolution for debugging purposes.

Downsampling dramatically speeds up approximation. Alternatively, a solution (for the SDC SyN) would be to calculate a heavily dilated mask of the brain and use it to limit the number of voxels that are fit in regression.

BTW, this is meant to be merged before the other PRs

Architectural changes look good. I think we need a different threshold and I would incline toward a simpler down-sampling method.

Some notes - any hope for a few tests (with / without downsampling)?

Allows anisotropic voxel sizes when resampling the input data.

Replace the controverted function with a new implementation, which could
be condiered as a candidate to replace Niworkflows'.

This is not a big deal, but I don't think the dtype matters, but setting it so precisely implies that it does. This might make one hesitant to change things in the future. Just flagging the thought that we might want some way to indicate what's important, like SpatialReference(shape, affine), but should not hold up this PR if there isn't something that simple already in nitransforms.

Looking at scipy.ndimage.map_coordinates, I don't think prefilter filters more or less based on the down-sampling factor.

I suspect for the factors we'll be dealing with (mostly <2, almost all <3) it's probably fine, but I don't really know how to evaluate this.

No, that's the b-spline filtering, which blurs with the width of the B-Spline basis (cubic, then 4 voxels). I believe that is enough for the purpose of this interpolation.

In the case of SyN, ANTs is already giving you a displacements field that has been smoothed to a certain kernel width (the third parameter of -t [Syn]). We are not in a more general case where you have a signal with additive noise and you want to subsample it safely.

So I'm quite convinced no extra smoothing should be added.

(to answer the question, you are right, it is independent of the size ratio) -- but that should be okay, IMHO, for the reasons above.

I'll go ahead and merge. I plan to make a PR collecting post-merge comments, so, if something new appears, I will address it later.

Just for clarity, I think we want to rename from zooms_min, since it now diverges form self.inputs.zooms_min.

what would you suggest? (I have no particular preference)

target_zooms made sense to me.
