Detailed Description

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

This filter implements a zero-crossing based edge detecor. The zero-crossing based edge detector looks for pixels in the Laplacian of an image where the value of the Laplacian passes through zero --- points where the Laplacian changes sign. Such points often occur at ``edges'' in images --- i.e. points where the intensity of the image changes rapidly, but they also occur at places that are not as easy to associate with edges. It is best to think of the zero crossing detector as some sort of feature detector rather than as a specific edge detector.

/par Zero crossings always lie on closed contours and so the output from the zero crossing detector is usually a binary image with single pixel thickness lines showing the positions of the zero crossing points.

/par In this implementation, the input image is first smoothed with a Gaussian filter, then the LaplacianImageFilter is applied to smoothed image. Finally the zero-crossing of the Laplacian of the smoothed image is detected. The output is a binary image.

/par Inputs and Outputs The input to the filter should be a scalar, itk::Image of arbitrary dimension. The output image is a binary, labeled image. See itkZeroCrossingImageFilter for more information on requirements of the data type of the output.

/par To use this filter, first set the parameters (variance and maximum error) needed by the embedded DiscreteGaussianImageFilter, i.e. See DiscreteGaussianImageFilter for information about these parameters. Optionally, you may also set foreground and background values for the zero-crossing filter. The default label values are Zero for the background and One for the foreground, as defined in NumericTraits for the data type of the output image.
