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 the compiled resampling path uses a non-integer interpolation mode with align_corners=True, spatial_resample adjusts the voxel-space transform using input and output spatial dimensions. A test compares eager and lazy RandRotate outputs. The compiled spacing test expectation also changes.

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

Merge Risk: Low · up to 339a1

The change is mergeable with a bounded coverage gap: the new test exercises compiled resampling in scheduled runs, but not in the full-test step. A separate compiled invocation would provide earlier regression detection while preserving noncompiled coverage.

CI update: the earlier full-dep failures (TestAffineConsistency::test_affine_resize, method_1, align_corners=True) came from an extra commit (03ec6ed) that changed the compensation condition and applied it in default mode. It was reverted in 921be4a, and all checks now pass.

[ericspod]

Thanks for this fix, I will copy/paste your code into the GPU tests I'm running to confirm they go through, but we'll merge this PR so I'm not stealing your credit. I had some comments here. There are other areas where USE_COMPILED is used to skip tests, condition whether to add certain test cases, or change tolerances. I feel that the compiled code should be drop-in replacable with native code so these shouldn't be needed, perhaps in a subsequent PR you can look at remove as many of these conditions as possible.

One other possible change we should do is change line 30 of monai/config/deviceconfig.py to USE_COMPILED = HAS_EXT and os.getenv("BUILD_MONAI", "1") == "1". This changes the environment variable default to be 1, so the new default is to use compiled extensions if they're present. You need to make this change here to run the added and existing tests in CPU mode.

[ericspod]

GPU testing with the code appears to be successful from within a local Docker environment. The actual GPU testing PR fails due to a possible misconfiguration of the runner which I'll sort later. Please look at the review but it looks good to me.

Thanks for the review and GPU testing. Pushed 46b69ea with these updates:

• Extracted the compensation logic into _cancel_align_corners_scaling() with a docstring explaining the matrix adjustments and the -0.5 translation. The maths is unchanged. I kept the current matrix-based approach because this is a compensation, not an undo of an earlier transform. Happy to try your suggested approach if you prefer.
• Removed the skip condition from the new test. It passes with and without BUILD_MONAI=1.
• Should the BUILD_MONAI default change in deviceconfig.py be included in this PR? It affects everyone with the extension built, so I wanted to confirm first.
• I'll handle the other USE_COMPILED skips and tolerances in a follow-up PR.

Validation with BUILD_MONAI=1:

• tests.transforms.test_affine: 129 tests, 3 skipped.
• tests.transforms.test_affined: 120 tests, all passed.
• Ruff and pre-commit checks passed. fill that hash

Looks good to me thanks!

Run the compiled lazy align_corners test in its own step with BUILD_MONAI=1.

The Run full tests step runs without BUILD_MONAI=1. USE_COMPILED is False there, so test_lazy_rotate_align_corners_compiled runs the noncompiled path. The compiled align_corners compensation does not run in that step. Setting BUILD_MONAI=1 on the full run would switch every collected test to the compiled backend.

The new step uses the same skip == 0 condition as the Run compiled install step. It runs only on non-macOS runners. That install step builds monai._C and imports it before this step runs, so BUILD_MONAI=1 selects the compiled path here.

Suggested fix

     - if: runner.os != 'macOS' && needs.test_skip.outputs.skip == 0
       name: Run full tests
