Detailed Description

template<typename TBloxPixelType, unsigned int VImageDimension = 3>
class itk::BloxImage< TBloxPixelType, VImageDimension >

Templated n-dimensional image class used to store linked lists.

The itk::BloxImage object is a regular, rectilinear lattice of "blocks" in n-dimensional space. The word "blox" was chosen to bring to mind a set of "city blocks" in 2D or "building blocks" in 3D. Being a regular lattice, itkBloxImage logically derives from itkImage. In an itkBloxImage, each pixel represents an isometric space-filling block of geometric space, called an itkBloxPixel. Each itk::BloxPixel generally covers many pixels in the underlying image and is used to store a variable number of image primitives (such as boundary points) or features (such as medial nodes) gathered within that region of geometric space. To do this, each itkBloxPixel contains a linked list.

The itk::BloxImage object facilitates certain forms of analysis by providing geometric hashing. For example, if boundary points are stored in an itk::BloxImage, pairs of boundary points that face each other (called "core atoms") can be found by searching relatively small regions of geometric space that face each boundary point for appropriate mates. Because an itk::BloxImage is rectilinear in geometric space (even though the underlying image may not be) subsequent analysis can be invariant to rotation and translation.

itk::BloxImage is templated over pixel type; in general, the pixel type should be derived from itk::BloxPixel, however this is not enforced and other implementations are possible.

Note that itk::BloxPixel is itself templated over item type (the type of object stored in the linked list).
