Hi Luis,<br>Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful.<br>My application has the following flow:<br><br>a)User specifies ROI interactively <br>b) Do segmentation in the specified region to get region A and B<br>c) Based on user specified thickness, label the boundary of the A and B as a new label C (of thickness specified by user)<br>
d) Visualize the segmentation<br><br>Currently I have set this up as a series of ITK and VTK filters. Note that due to size of dataset I release data on all filters, so the whole pipeline is re-executed every time.<br><br>
Currently I use neighborhood iterators for (c) . Should I wrap the functionality into a filter ?<br>As the whole pipeline is re-executed everytime, what would be the disadvantage of using iterators instead of a filter ?<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Somi<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 10:52 AM, Luis Ibanez <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:luis.ibanez@kitware.com">luis.ibanez@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<br>It show how to update a Qt progress bar by <br>capturing progress events sent from an ITK<br>filter.<br><br>More specifically about your questions:<br><br><br>a) In order to integrate a single progress value <br> by composing the progress reported by each <br>
individual filter in a pipeline, you can use the<br> helper class:<br><br> Insight/Code/Common/<br> itkProgressAccumulator.h<br> itkProgressAccumulator.cxx<br><br> you need to register all the ITK filters with it<br>
and you must come up with a percentage of<br> how much each filter contributes to the total<br> progress of the pipeline.<br><br> For examples of use, look at any of the following<br> filters:<br><br> Insight/Code/BasicFilters/<br>
itkOpeningByReconstructionImageFilter.txx<br>itkOrientImageFilter.txx<br>itkSignedDanielssonDistanceMapImageFilter.txx<br>itkSignedMaurerDistanceMapImageFilter.txx<br>itkSmoothingRecursiveGaussianImageFilter.txx<br>itkZeroCrossingBasedEdgeDetectionImageFilter.txx <br>
<br><br>b) Since ITK and VTK are independent toolkits you <br> will have to write specific command observers for<br> each family of filters.<br><br> and you may have to write a customized Progress<br> Accumulator that can take contributions from both<br>
ITK and VTK. Strictly speaking the progress <br> accumulator doesn't even need to know that filters<br> are involved in the process. It just needs to know<br> about relative contributions of every stage of <br>
processing.<br><br><br>c) Why would you use iterators in the pipeline ?<br> <br> Iterators are usually hidden from the <br> view of mortals inside the protective <br> enclosure of filters :-)<br><br>

I need some help displaying the progress events.<br><br>I have connected the ITK and VTK pipelines . I want to show progress of individual as well as total progress in separate Qt progress bars.<br>
<br>a) How can I get the progress of the whole pipeline ? Do I have to use QProgressDialog progress + progress.setValue(n) +
qApp->processEvents(); manually setting value of n after every

<br>b) For individual filter progress update do I use two different classes one overriding itk::Command and other vtk::Command ? Do I have to use separate progress bar for ITK/VTK<br><br>c) What changes do I have to do if I use iterators in my pipeline ?<br>
