template<typename TInputImage, typename TOutputImage = TInputImage>
class itk::ThresholdMaximumConnectedComponentsImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >
Finds the threshold value of an image based on maximizing the number of objects in the image that are larger than a given minimal size.
- This method is based on Topological Stable State Thresholding to calculate the threshold set point. This method is particularly effective when there are a large number of objects in a microscopy image. Compiling in Debug mode and enable the debug flag for this filter to print debug information to see how the filter focuses in on a threshold value. Please see the Insight Journal's MICCAI 2005 workshop for a complete description. References are below.
- Parameters
- The MinimumObjectSizeInPixels parameter is controlled through the class Get/SetMinimumObjectSizeInPixels() method. Similar to the standard itk::BinaryThresholdImageFilter the Get/SetInside and Get/SetOutside values of the threshold can be set. The GetNumberOfObjects() and GetThresholdValue() methods return the number of objects above the minimum pixel size and the calculated threshold value.
- Automatic Thresholding in ITK
- There are multiple methods to automatically calculate the threshold intensity value of an image. As of version 4.0, ITK has a Thresholding ( ITKThresholding ) module which contains numerous automatic thresholding methods.implements two of these. Topological Stable State Thresholding works well on images with a large number of objects to be counted.

template<typename TInputImage , typename TOutputImage = TInputImage>
Update the filter. It essentially uses a bisection method to search for the threshold setPt that maximizes the number of connected components in the image. The ComputeConnectedComponents does the threshold and then a connected components object count. It is removed from GenerateData to make this all easier to read.
Remove the comments on the output statements to see how the search strategy works.
Reimplemented from itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >.
