#include <itkMultiScaleHessianBasedMeasureImageFilter.h>

Detailed Description

template<typename TInputImage, typename THessianImage, typename TOutputImage = TInputImage>
class itk::MultiScaleHessianBasedMeasureImageFilter< TInputImage, THessianImage, TOutputImage >

A filter to enhance structures using Hessian eigensystem-based measures in a multiscale framework.

The filter evaluates a Hessian-based enhancement measure, such as vesselness or objectness, at different scale levels. The Hessian-based measure is computed from the Hessian image at each scale level and the best response is selected.

Minimum and maximum sigma value can be set using SetMinSigma and SetMaxSigma methods respectively. The number of scale levels is set using SetNumberOfSigmaSteps method. Exponentially distributed scale levels are computed within the bound set by the minimum and maximum sigma values

The filter computes a second output image (accessed by the GetScalesOutput method) containing the scales at which each pixel gave the best response.

This code was contributed in the Insight Journal paper: "Generalizing vesselness with respect to dimensionality and shape" by Antiga L. https://doi.org/10.54294/urgadx

Author: Luca Antiga Ph.D. Medical Imaging Unit, Bioengineering Department, Mario Negri Institute, Italy.
