Detailed Description

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage>
class itk::BilateralImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >

Blurs an image while preserving edges.

This filter uses bilateral filtering to blur an image using both domain and range "neighborhoods". Pixels that are close to a pixel in the image domain and similar to a pixel in the image range are used to calculate the filtered value. Two gaussian kernels (one in the image domain and one in the image range) are used to smooth the image. The result is an image that is smoothed in homogeneous regions yet has edges preserved. The result is similar to anisotropic diffusion but the implementation in non-iterative. Another benefit to bilateral filtering is that any distance metric can be used for kernel smoothing the image range. Hence, color images can be smoothed as vector images, using the CIE distances between intensity values as the similarity metric (the Gaussian kernel for the image domain is evaluated using CIE distances). A separate version of this filter will be designed for color and vector images.

Bilateral filtering is capable of reducing the noise in an image by an order of magnitude while maintaining edges.

The bilateral operator used here was described by Tomasi and Manduchi (Bilateral Filtering for Gray and ColorImages. IEEE ICCV. 1998.)

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage>
virtual void itk::BilateralImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GenerateInputRequestedRegion   throw (InvalidRequestedRegionError) [virtual]
 

BilateralImageFilter needs a larger input requested region than the output requested region (larger by the size of the domain Gaussian kernel). As such, BilateralImageFilter needs to provide an implementation for GenerateInputRequestedRegion() in order to inform the pipeline execution model.
