Detailed Description

template<typename TSparseImageType>
class itk::NormalVectorDiffusionFunction< TSparseImageType >

This class defines all the necessary functionality for performing isotropic and anisotropic diffusion operations on vector neighborhoods from a sparse image.

This class implements the actual computations for performing isotropic and anisotropic diffusion operations on a neighborhood of unit length vectors. Moreover, this processing is intrinsic to a manifold as specified by the ManifoldNormal member variables in the nodes of the sparse image.
Since the only difference between isotropic and anisotropic diffusion is the exectution of 1 extra line of code, we have implemented both in this class and made the choice between the two depend on a parameter (see below).
PARAMETERS
The choice between is isotropic/anisotropic diffusion is made by the parameter NormalProcessType. A value of 0 corresponds to isotropic diffusion whereas a value of 1 corresponds to anisotropic diffusion. If anisotropic diffusion is chosen, the parameter ConductanceParameter should be set. This conductance parameter determines the level of feature preservation.
IMPORTANT
This class works on SparseImage neighborhoods. Before using this class please read the documentation for SparseImage. Also the documentation for ImplicitManifoldNormalVectorField class will be helpful in understanding how to use this class as a function object.

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.

This function is called from LevelSetNormalImageFilter for all of the nodes to compute and store the flux vectors (first derivatives of the normal vectors. ComputeUpdateNormal then takes derivatives of the flux vectors. This way we avoid repeating the same flux computations.

Methods invoked by Print() to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

template<typename TSparseImageType >
void itk::NormalVectorDiffusionFunction< TSparseImageType >::SetConductanceParameter ( NodeValueType  cp)
inline

This method sets the conductance parameter used in anisotropic filtering. Useful values for processing 2D and 3D shapes are between 0.1 and 0.25. Lower values preserve more shape features, higher values smooth more. As the conductance parameter large, the processing becomes isotropic. Default is 0.

template<typename TSparseImageType >
void itk::NormalVectorDiffusionFunction< TSparseImageType >::SetNormalProcessType ( int  npt)

This method is used to choose between isotropic/anisotropic filtering. A parameter value of 0 indicates isotropic diffusion and is the default. Parameter value 1 is anisotropic diffusion. When using anisotropic diffusion the conductance parameter should also be set.
