Thanks for Your replies.<br>
<br>
I have finally managed to put data into the StatisticsOpeningLabelMapFilter<br>
using following filters:<br>
<br>
typedef<br>
itk::LabelImageToStatisticsLabelMapFilter&lt;LabelMapToLabelImageFilterType::OutputImageType,<br>
SSImageType&gt; LabelImageToStatisticsLabelMapFilterType;<br>
LabelImageToStatisticsLabelMapFilterType::Pointer li2sli =<br>
LabelImageToStatisticsLabelMapFilterType::New();<br>
li2sli-&gt;SetInput(labelMapToLabelImageFilter-&gt;GetOutput());<br>
li2sli-&gt;SetFeatureImage(inputImage);<br>
li2sli-&gt;Update();<br>
<br>
typedef<br>
itk::StatisticsOpeningLabelMapFilter&lt;LabelImageToStatisticsLabelMapFilterType::OutputImageType&gt;<br>
<div>StatisticsOpeningLabelMapFilterType;<br>
StatisticsOpeningLabelMapFilterType::Pointer statisticsOpening =<br>
StatisticsOpeningLabelMapFilterType::New();<br>
</div>statisticsOpening-&gt;SetAttribute(StatisticsOpeningLabelMapFilterType::LabelObjectType::MEAN);<br>
statisticsOpening-&gt;SetInput(li2sli-&gt;GetOutput());<br>
statisticsOpening-&gt;SetLambda(-500);<br>
statisticsOpening-&gt;Update();<br>
<br>
and it compiles without any errors. As I understand<br>
LabelImageToStatisticsLabelMapFilter has 2 inputs:<br>
-feature image (setfeatureimage())- my signed short 2-d image (SSImageType),<br>
I store my initial dicom image here<br>
-input (setinput()) is a label image I got from previous operations (in my<br>
case: binarisation of initial dicom, a bit of morphological filtering,<br>
labeling objects on binary image and finally converting labelMap to<br>
labelImage )<br>
<br>
StatisticsOpeningLabelMapFilter has typical arguments for &quot;opening&quot; (not<br>
morphological operation but removing labeled objects based on values of<br>
chosen attributes) and the input in my case (I am not sure if I do this<br>
correct) is a statistics label map.<br>
<br>
I must admit that this statistics opening filters are a mystery to me -<br>
though I have ussed simillar (?) shape opening filters with success before.<br>
Am I setting all inputs correctly? What is the output of<br>
StatisticsOpeningLabelMapFilter ? Is it statistics label map that needs<br>
convertion to label image? I found myself without idea how this filter<br>
works.<br>
