function [x1,x2]=witps(xp1,xp2,Y,Yp)
% WITPS  Inverse thin-plate spline warping
%   [X1,X2]=wtps(XP1,XP2,Y,Yp) computes the inverse thin-plate spline
%   (TPS) warp of the points XP1,XP2.
%
%   REMARK. The inverse of a thin-plate spline in general is NOT a
%   thin-plate spline and some splines do not have an inverse.  This
%   function uses Gauss-Newton to compute a set of points (X1,X2) such
%   that [XP1,XP2]=WTPS(X1,X2,Y,Yp).
%
%   See also WTPS.
