Detailed Description

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage>
class itk::LaplacianImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >

This filter computes the Laplacian of a scalar-valued image. The Laplacian is an isotropic measure of the 2nd spatial derivative of an image. The Laplacian of an image highlights regions of rapid intensity change and is therefore often used for edge detection. Often, the Laplacian is applied to an image that has first been smoothed with a Gaussian filter in order to reduce its sensitivity to noise.

The Laplacian at each pixel location is computed by convolution with the itk::LaplacianOperator.

Inputs and Outputs
The input to this filter is a scalar-valued itk::Image of arbitrary dimension. The output is a scalar-valued itk::Image.

Member Function Documentation

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage>
void itk::LaplacianImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GenerateData   [protected, virtual]
 

Standard pipeline method. While this class does not implement a ThreadedGenerateData(), its GenerateData() delegates all calculations to an NeighborhoodOperatorImageFilter. Since the NeighborhoodOperatorImageFilter is multithreaded, this filter is multithreaded by default.

Reimplemented from itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >.

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage>
virtual void itk::LaplacianImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GenerateInputRequestedRegion   throw (InvalidRequestedRegionError) [virtual]
 

LaplacianImageFilter needs a larger input requested region than the output requested region (larger in the direction of the derivative). As such, LaplacianImageFilter needs to provide an implementation for GenerateInputRequestedRegion() in order to inform the pipeline execution model.
