const

given a current detector node in the DDFilteredView, extract the global translation and rotation. Further apply ORCA semantics for the local reference frame in which each solid of a detector is defined, in order to get the 'correct' GlobalToLocal transforms. Further determine the boundaries of the current detector.

TODO: . The function should be part of a class. . The function currently only knows how to handle BarrelPixel detectors - should also know about other det-types. Maybe several classes, one per detector element?
