%
% FORMAT u = spm_diffeo('vel2mom', v, param)
% v     - velocity (flow) field n1*n2*n3*3.
% param - 8 parameters (settings)
%         - [1][2][3] Voxel sizes
%         - [4][5][6][7][8] Regularisation parameters
%           - [4] Absolute displacements need to be penalised by a tiny
%                 amount.  The first element encodes the amount of
%                 penalty on these.  Ideally, absolute displacements
%                 should not be penalised, but it is usually necessary
%                 for technical reasons.
%           - [5] The `membrane energy' of the deformation is penalised,
%                 usually by a relatively small amount. This penalises
%                 the sum of squares of the derivatives of the velocity
%                 field (ie the sum of squares of the elements of the
%                 Jacobian tensors).
%           - [6] The `bending energy' is penalised (3rd element). This
%                 penalises the sum of squares of the 2nd derivatives of
%                 the velocity.
%           - [7][8] Linear elasticity regularisation is also included.
%                    The first parameter (mu) is similar to that for
%                    linear elasticity, except it penalises the sum of
%                    squares of the Jacobian tensors after they have been
%                    made symmetric (by averaging with the transpose).
%                    This term essentially penalises length changes,
%                    without penalising rotations.
%                    The final term also relates to linear elasticity,
%                    and is the weight that denotes how much to penalise
%                    changes to the divergence of the velocities (lambda).
%                    This divergence is a measure of the rate of volumetric
%                    expansion or contraction.
