Detailed Description

template<class TInputImage1, class TInputImage2>
class itk::ContourDirectedMeanDistanceImageFilter< TInputImage1, TInputImage2 >

Computes the directed Mean distance between the boundaries of non-zero pixel regions of two images.

ContourDirectedMeanDistanceImageFilter computes the distance between the set non-zero pixels of two images using the following formula:

\[ h(A,B) = \mathrm{mean}_{a \in A} \min_{b \in B} \| a - b\| \]

where $A$ and $B$ are respectively the set of non-zero pixels in the first and second input images. It identifies the point $ a \in A $ that is farthest from any point of $B$ and measures the distance from $a$ to the nearest neighbor in $B$. Note that this function is not is not symmetric and hence is not a true distance.

In particular, this filter uses the SignedDanielssonDistanceMapImageFilter inside to compute distance map from all non-zero pixels in the second image. It then computes the mean distance (in pixels) within the boundary pixels of non-zero regions in the first image.

Use MeanDistanceImageFilter to compute the full Mean distance.

This filter requires the largest possible region of the first image and the same corresponding region in the second image. It behaves as filter with two input and one output. Thus it can be inserted in a pipeline with other filters. The filter passes the first input through unmodified.

This filter is templated over the two input image type. It assume both image have the same number of dimensions.

Allow people to add/remove/invoke observers (callbacks) to any ITK object. This is an implementation of the subject/observer design pattern. An observer is added by specifying an event to respond to and an itk::Command to execute. It returns an unsigned long tag which can be used later to remove the event or retrieve the command. The memory for the Command becomes the responsibility of this object, so don't pass the same instance of a command to two different objects

static void itk::LightObject::BreakOnError (  )  [static, inherited]

This method is called when itkExceptionMacro executes. It allows the debugger to break on error.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::CacheInputReleaseDataFlags (  )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Cache the state of any ReleaseDataFlag's on the inputs. While the filter is executing, we need to set the ReleaseDataFlag's on the inputs to false in case the current filter is implemented using a mini-pipeline (which will try to release the inputs). After the filter finishes, we restore the state of the ReleaseDataFlag's before the call to ReleaseInputs().

virtual void itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage1 , TInputImage1 >::CallCopyInputRegionToOutputRegion ( OutputImageRegionType destRegion,
const InputImageRegionType srcRegion 
) [protected, virtual, inherited]

This function calls the actual region copier to do the mapping from input image space to output image space. It uses a Function object used for dispatching to various routines to copy an input region (start index and size) to an output region. For most filters, this is a trivial copy because most filters require the input dimension to match the output dimension. However, some filters like itk::UnaryFunctorImageFilter can support output images of a higher dimension that the input.

This function object is used by the default implementation of GenerateOutputInformation(). It can also be used in routines like ThreadedGenerateData() where a filter may need to map an input region to an output region.

The default copier uses a "dispatch pattern" to call one of three overloaded functions depending on whether the input and output images are the same dimension, the input is a higher dimension that the output, or the input is of a lower dimension than the output. The use of an overloaded function is required for proper compilation of the various cases.

For the latter two cases, trivial implementations are used. If the input image is a higher dimension than the output, the first portion of the input region is copied to the output region. If the input region is a lower dimension than the output, the input region information is copied into the first portion of the output region and the rest of the output region is set to zero.

If a filter needs a different default behavior, it can override this method.

virtual void itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage1 , TInputImage1 >::CallCopyOutputRegionToInputRegion ( InputImageRegionType destRegion,
const OutputImageRegionType srcRegion 
) [protected, virtual, inherited]

This function calls the actual region copier to do the mapping from output image space to input image space. It uses a Function object used for dispatching to various routines to copy an output region (start index and size) to an input region. For most filters, this is a trivial copy because most filters require the input dimension to match the output dimension. However, some filters like itk::ExtractImageFilter can support output images of a lower dimension that the input.

This function object can be used by GenerateOutputInformation() to copy the input LargestPossibleRegion to the output LargestPossibleRegion and can also be used in GenerateData or ThreadedGenerateData() where a filter may need to map an output region to an input region.

The default copier uses a "dispatch pattern" to call one of three overloaded functions depending on whether the input and output images are the same dimension, the input is a higher dimension that the output, or the input is of a lower dimension than the output. The use of an overloaded function is required for proper compilation of the various cases.

For the latter two cases, trivial implementations are used. If the input image is a higher dimension than the output, the output region information is copied into the first portion of the input region and the rest of the input region is set to zero. If the input region is a lower dimension than the output, the first portion of the output region is copied to the input region.

If a filter needs a different default behavior, it can override this method. The ExtractImageFilter overrides this function object so that if the input image is a higher dimension than the output image, the filter can control "where" in the input image the output subimage is extracted (as opposed to mapping to first few dimensions of the input).

virtual LightObject::Pointer itk::Object::CreateAnother (  )  const [virtual, inherited]

Create an object from an instance, potentially deferring to a factory. This method allows you to create an instance of an object that is exactly the same type as the referring object. This is useful in cases where an object has been cast back to a base class.

Reimplemented from itk::LightObject.

virtual void itk::Object::DebugOff (  )  const [virtual, inherited]

Turn debugging output off.

virtual void itk::Object::DebugOn (  )  const [virtual, inherited]

Turn debugging output on.

virtual void itk::LightObject::Delete (  )  [virtual, inherited]

Delete an itk object. This method should always be used to delete an object when the new operator was used to create it. Using the C delete method will not work with reference counting.

template<class TInputImage1, class TInputImage2>
void itk::ContourDirectedMeanDistanceImageFilter< TInputImage1, TInputImage2 >::EnlargeOutputRequestedRegion ( DataObject data  )  [protected, virtual]

Give the process object a chance to indictate that it will produce more output than it was requested to produce. For example, many imaging filters must compute the entire output at once or can only produce output in complete slices. Such filters cannot handle smaller requested regions. These filters must provide an implementation of this method, setting the output requested region to the size they will produce. By default, a process object does not modify the size of the output requested region.

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

virtual void itk::ImageSource< TInputImage1 >::GenerateData ( void   )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

A version of GenerateData() specific for image processing filters. This implementation will split the processing across multiple threads. The buffer is allocated by this method. Then the BeforeThreadedGenerateData() method is called (if provided). Then, a series of threads are spawned each calling ThreadedGenerateData(). After all the threads have completed processing, the AfterThreadedGenerateData() method is called (if provided). If an image processing filter cannot be threaded, the filter should provide an implementation of GenerateData(). That implementation is responsible for allocating the output buffer. If a filter an be threaded, it should NOT provide a GenerateData() method but should provide a ThreadedGenerateData() instead.

ThreadedGenerateData()

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

Reimplemented in itk::ContourMeanDistanceImageFilter< TInputImage1, TInputImage2 >, and itk::HausdorffDistanceImageFilter< TInputImage1, TInputImage2 >.

template<class TInputImage1, class TInputImage2>
void itk::ContourDirectedMeanDistanceImageFilter< TInputImage1, TInputImage2 >::GenerateInputRequestedRegion ( void   )  [protected, virtual]

What is the input requested region that is required to produce the output requested region? The base assumption for image processing filters is that the input requested region can be set to match the output requested region. If a filter requires more input (for instance a filter that uses neighborhoods needs more input than output to avoid introducing artificial boundary conditions) or less input (for instance a magnify filter) will have to override this method. In doing so, it should call its superclass' implementation as its first step. Note that imaging filters operate differently than the classes to this point in the class hierachy. Up till now, the base assumption has been that the largest possible region will be requested of the input.

This implementation of GenerateInputRequestedRegion() only processes the inputs that are a subclass of the ImageBase<InputImageDimension>. If an input is another type of DataObject (including an Image of a different dimension), they are skipped by this method. The subclasses of ImageToImageFilter are responsible for providing an implementation of GenerateInputRequestedRegion() when there are multiple inputs of different types.

ProcessObject::GenerateInputRequestedRegion(), ImageSource::GenerateInputRequestedRegion()

Reimplemented from itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage1, TInputImage1 >.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateOutputInformation (  )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Generate the information decribing the output data. The default implementation of this method will copy information from the input to the output. A filter may override this method if its output will have different information than its input. For instance, a filter that shrinks an image will need to provide an implementation for this method that changes the spacing of the pixels. Such filters should call their superclass' implementation of this method prior to changing the information values they need (i.e. GenerateOutputInformation() should call Superclass::GenerateOutputInformation() prior to changing the information.
