[ITK-users] Ignore background pixels for gaussian filter computations

Thanks Matt! I was not aware of this filter. However, instead of masking an
image after filtering, I would like that the filter itself ignores a
specific region (i.e. background) for any calculation. Masking is not
enough if I apply large sigmas. I am also interested in making the filter
faster by ignoring computations in specified voxels.

Best,

Albert
