Detailed Description

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

Framework for creating images in a multi-resolution pyramid.

MultiResolutionPyramidImageFilter provides a generic framework to to create a image pryamid according to a user defined multi-resolution schedule.

The multi-resolution schedule is specified in terms for shrink factors at each multi-resolution level for each dimension.

A user can either use the default schedules or specify each factor in the schedules directly.

The schedule is stored as an unsigned int matrix. An element of the table can be access via the double bracket notation: table[resLevel][dimension]

For example: 8 4 4 4 4 2

is a schedule for two computation level. In the first (coarest) level the image is reduce by a factor of 8 in the column dimension, factor of 4 in the row dimension and factor of 4 in the slice dimension. In the second level, the image is reduce by a factor of 4 in the column dimension, 4 is the row dimension and 2 in the slice dimension.

The method SetNumberOfLevels() set the number of computation levels in the pyramid. This method will allocate memory for the multi-resolution schedule table. This method generates defaults tables with the starting shrink factor for all dimension set to NumberOfLevel - 1)^2. All factors are halved for all subsequent levels. For example if the number of levels was set to 4, the default table is:

8 8 8 4 4 4 2 2 2 1 1 1

The user can get a copy of the schedule via GetSchedule() They may make alteration and reset it using SetSchedule().

A user can create a default table by specifying the starting shrink factors via methods SetStartingShrinkFactors() The factors for subsequent level is generated by halving the factor or setting to one, depending on which is larger.

For example, for 4 levels and starting factors of 8,8,4 the default table would be:

8 8 4 4 4 2 2 2 1 1 1 1

When this filter is updated, NumberOfLevels outputs are produced. The N'th output correspond to the N'th level of the pyramid.

To generate each output image, Gaussian smoothing is first performed using a DiscreteGaussianImageFilter with variance (shrink factor / 2)^2. The smoothed image is then downsampled using a ShrinkImageFiter.

This class is templated over the input image type and the output image type.

This filter uses multithreaded filters to perform the smoothing and downsampling.

This filter supports streaming.
