Member Function Documentation

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::AbortGenerateDataOff ( ) [virtual, inherited]

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::AbortGenerateDataOn ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Turn on and off the AbortGenerateData flag.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::AddInput ( DataObject * input ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Protected methods for setting inputs. Subclasses make use of them for setting input.

unsigned long itk::Object::AddObserver	(	const EventObject &	event,
		Command *
	)			const `[inherited]`

Allow people to add/remove/invoke observers (callbacks) to any ITK object. This is an implementation of the subject/observer design pattern. An observer is added by specifying an event to respond to and an itk::Command to execute. It returns an unsigned long tag which can be used later to remove the event or retrieve the command. The memory for the Command becomes the responsibility of this object, so don't pass the same instance of a command to two different objects

unsigned long itk::Object::AddObserver	(	const EventObject &	event,
		Command *
	)			`[inherited]`

Allow people to add/remove/invoke observers (callbacks) to any ITK object. This is an implementation of the subject/observer design pattern. An observer is added by specifying an event to respond to and an itk::Command to execute. It returns an unsigned long tag which can be used later to remove the event or retrieve the command. The memory for the Command becomes the responsibility of this object, so don't pass the same instance of a command to two different objects

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::AddOutput ( DataObject * output ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Protected methods for setting outputs. Subclasses make use of them for getting output.

static void itk::LightObject::BreakOnError ( ) [static, inherited]

This method is called when itkExceptionMacro executes. It allows the debugger to break on error.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::CacheInputReleaseDataFlags ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Cache the state of any ReleaseDataFlag's on the inputs. While the filter is executing, we need to set the ReleaseDataFlag's on the inputs to false in case the current filter is implemented using a mini-pipeline (which will try to release the inputs). After the filter finishes, we restore the state of the ReleaseDataFlag's before the call to ReleaseInputs().

virtual LightObject::Pointer itk::Object::CreateAnother ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Create an object from an instance, potentially deferring to a factory. This method allows you to create an instance of an object that is exactly the same type as the referring object. This is useful in cases where an object has been cast back to a base class.

Reimplemented from itk::LightObject.

virtual void itk::Object::DebugOff ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Turn debugging output off.

virtual void itk::Object::DebugOn ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Turn debugging output on.

virtual void itk::LightObject::Delete ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Delete an itk object. This method should always be used to delete an object when the new operator was used to create it. Using the C delete method will not work with reference counting.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::EnlargeOutputRequestedRegion ( DataObject * ) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Give the process object a chance to indictate that it will produce more output than it was requested to produce. For example, many imaging filters must compute the entire output at once or can only produce output in complete slices. Such filters cannot handle smaller requested regions. These filters must provide an implementation of this method, setting the output requested region to the size they will produce. By default, a process object does not modify the size of the output requested region.

Definition at line 225 of file itkProcessObject.h.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateData ( void ) [inline, protected, virtual, inherited]

This method causes the filter to generate its output.

Definition at line 387 of file itkProcessObject.h.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateInputRequestedRegion ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

What is the input requested region that is required to produce the output requested region? By default, the largest possible region is always required but this is overridden in many subclasses. For instance, for an image processing filter where an output pixel is a simple function of an input pixel, the input requested region will be set to the output requested region. For an image processing filter where an output pixel is a function of the pixels in a neighborhood of an input pixel, then the input requested region will need to be larger than the output requested region (to avoid introducing artificial boundary conditions). This function should never request an input region that is outside the the input largest possible region (i.e. implementations of this method should crop the input requested region at the boundaries of the input largest possible region).

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateOutputInformation ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Generate the information decribing the output data. The default implementation of this method will copy information from the input to the output. A filter may override this method if its output will have different information than its input. For instance, a filter that shrinks an image will need to provide an implementation for this method that changes the spacing of the pixels. Such filters should call their superclass' implementation of this method prior to changing the information values they need (i.e. GenerateOutputInformation() should call Superclass::GenerateOutputInformation() prior to changing the information.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateOutputRequestedRegion ( DataObject * output ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Given one output whose requested region has been set, how should the requested regions for the remaining outputs of the process object be set? By default, all the outputs are set to the same requested region. If a filter needs to produce different requested regions for each output, for instance an image processing filter producing several outputs at different resolutions, then that filter may override this method and set the requested regions appropriatedly.

Note that a filter producing multiple outputs of different types is required to override this method. The default implementation can only correctly handle multiple outputs of the same type.

virtual const bool& itk::ProcessObject::GetAbortGenerateData ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Get the AbortGenerateData flag for the process object. Process objects may handle premature termination of execution in different ways.

Command* itk::Object::GetCommand ( unsigned long tag ) [inherited]

Get the command associated with the given tag. NOTE: This returns a pointer to a Command, but it is safe to asign this to a Command::Pointer. Since Command inherits from LightObject, at this point in the code, only a pointer or a reference to the Command can be used.

bool itk::Object::GetDebug ( ) const [inherited]

Get the value of the debug flag.

static bool itk::Object::GetGlobalWarningDisplay ( ) [static, inherited]

This is a global flag that controls whether any debug, warning or error messages are displayed.

const DataObject* itk::ProcessObject::GetInput ( unsigned int idx ) const [protected, inherited]

Method used internally for getting an input.

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputPath>

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputPath>

virtual const char* itk::ImageToPathFilter< TInputImage, TOutputPath >::GetNameOfClass ( ) const [virtual]

Run-time type information (and related methods).

Reimplemented from itk::PathSource< TOutputPath >.

Reimplemented in itk::ContourExtractor2DImageFilter< TInputImage >.

DataObjectPointerArraySizeType itk::ProcessObject::GetNumberOfInputs ( ) const [inline, inherited]

Get the size of the input vector. This is merely the size of the input vector, not the number of inputs that have valid DataObject's assigned. Use GetNumberOfValidRequiredInputs() to determine how many inputs are non-null.

Definition at line 118 of file itkProcessObject.h.

DataObjectPointerArraySizeType itk::ProcessObject::GetNumberOfOutputs ( ) const [inline, inherited]

Return an array with all the outputs of this process object. This is useful for tracing forward in the pipeline to contruct graphs etc.

Definition at line 135 of file itkProcessObject.h.

virtual const unsigned int& itk::ProcessObject::GetNumberOfRequiredInputs ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Protected methods for setting inputs. Subclasses make use of them for setting input.

virtual const unsigned int& itk::ProcessObject::GetNumberOfRequiredOutputs ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Protected methods for setting outputs. Subclasses make use of them for getting output.

virtual const int& itk::ProcessObject::GetNumberOfThreads ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Get/Set the number of threads to create when executing.

virtual DataObjectPointerArraySizeType itk::ProcessObject::GetNumberOfValidRequiredInputs ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Get the number of valid inputs. This is the number of non-null entries in the input vector in the first NumberOfRequiredInputs slots. This method is used to determine whether the necessary required inputs have been set. Subclasses of ProcessObject may override this implementation if the required inputs are not the first slots in input vector.

Reimplemented in itk::MultiResolutionPDEDeformableRegistration< TFixedImage, TMovingImage, TDeformationField, TRealType >, itk::PDEDeformableRegistrationFilter< TFixedImage, TMovingImage, TDeformationField >, and itk::PDEDeformableRegistrationFilter< TFixedImage, TMovingImage, TDeformationField >.

const DataObject* itk::ProcessObject::GetOutput ( unsigned int idx ) const [protected, inherited]

Method used internally for getting an output.

OutputPathType* itk::PathSource< TOutputPath >::GetOutput ( unsigned int idx ) [inherited]

Get the output data of this process object. The output of this function is not valid until an appropriate Update() method has been called, either explicitly or implicitly. Both the filter itself and the data object have Update() methods, and both methods update the data. Here are three ways to use GetOutput() and make sure the data is valid. In these examples, image is a pointer to some Image object, and the particular ProcessObjects involved are filters. The same examples apply to non-image (e.g. Mesh) data as well.

   anotherFilter->SetInput( someFilter->GetOutput() );
   anotherFilter->Update();

In this situation, someFilter and anotherFilter are said to constitute a pipeline.

   image = someFilter->GetOutput();
   image->Update();

   someFilter->Update();
   image = someFilter->GetOutput();

(In the above example, the two lines of code can be in either order.)

Note that Update() is not called automatically except within a pipeline as in the first example. When streaming (using a StreamingImageFilter) is activated, it may be more efficient to use a pipeline than to call Update() once for each filter in turn.

For an image, the data generated is for the requested Region, which can be set using ImageBase::SetRequestedRegion(). By default, the largest possible region is requested.

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

OutputPathType* itk::PathSource< TOutputPath >::GetOutput ( void ) [inherited]

Get the output data of this process object. The output of this function is not valid until an appropriate Update() method has been called, either explicitly or implicitly. Both the filter itself and the data object have Update() methods, and both methods update the data. Here are three ways to use GetOutput() and make sure the data is valid. In these examples, image is a pointer to some Image object, and the particular ProcessObjects involved are filters. The same examples apply to non-image (e.g. Mesh) data as well.

   anotherFilter->SetInput( someFilter->GetOutput() );
   anotherFilter->Update();

In this situation, someFilter and anotherFilter are said to constitute a pipeline.

   image = someFilter->GetOutput();
   image->Update();

   someFilter->Update();
   image = someFilter->GetOutput();

(In the above example, the two lines of code can be in either order.)

DataObjectPointerArray& itk::ProcessObject::GetOutputs ( ) [inline, inherited]

Return an array with all the outputs of this process object. This is useful for tracing forward in the pipeline to contruct graphs etc.

Definition at line 133 of file itkProcessObject.h.

virtual const float& itk::ProcessObject::GetProgress ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Get the execution progress of a process object. The progress is a floating number in [0,1] with 0 meaning no progress and 1 meaning the filter has completed execution.

Referenced by itk::XMLFilterWatcher::ShowProgress().

virtual int itk::LightObject::GetReferenceCount ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Gets the reference count on this object.

Definition at line 106 of file itkLightObject.h.

virtual const bool& itk::ProcessObject::GetReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released/reallocated during an Update(). In limited memory scenarios, a user may want to force the elements of a pipeline to release any bulk data that is going to be regenerated anyway during an Update() in order to control peak memory allocation. Note that this flag is different from the ReleaseDataFlag. ReleaseDataFlag manages the deallocation of a ProcessObject's bulk output data once that data has been consumed by a downstream ProcessObject. The ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag manages the deallocation/reallocation of bulk data during a pipeline update to control peak memory utilization. Default value is on.

virtual bool itk::ProcessObject::GetReleaseDataFlag ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released after being used by a downstream ProcessObject. Default value is off. Another options for controlling memory utilization is the ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag.

static void itk::Object::GlobalWarningDisplayOff ( ) [inline, static, inherited]

This is a global flag that controls whether any debug, warning or error messages are displayed.

static void itk::Object::GlobalWarningDisplayOn ( ) [inline, static, inherited]

virtual void itk::PathSource< TOutputPath >::GraftNthOutput	(	unsigned int	idx,
		OutputPathType *	output
	)			`[virtual, inherited]`

Graft the specified data object onto this ProcessObject's idx'th output. This is the similar to GraftOutput method except is allows you specify which output is affected. The specified index must be a valid output number (less than ProcessObject::GetNumberOfOutputs()). See the GraftOutput for general usage information.

virtual void itk::PathSource< TOutputPath >::GraftOutput ( OutputPathType * output ) [virtual, inherited]

Graft the specified DataObject onto this ProcessObject's output. This method grabs a handle to the specified DataObject's path data to use as its output's own path data. It also copies the region ivars (RequestedRegion, BufferedRegion, LargestPossibleRegion) and meta-data (Spacing, Origin) from the specified data object into this filter's output data object. Most importantly, however, it leaves the Source ivar untouched so the original pipeline routing is intact. This method is used when a process object is implemented using a mini-pipeline which is defined in its GenerateData() method. The usage is:

    // setup the mini-pipeline to process the input to this filter
    firstFilterInMiniPipeline->SetInput( this->GetInput() );

    // setup the mini-pipeline to calculate the correct regions
    // and write to the appropriate bulk data block
    lastFilterInMiniPipeline->GraftOutput( this->GetOutput() );

    // execute the mini-pipeline
    lastFilterInMiniPipeline->Update();

    // graft the mini-pipeline output back onto this filter's output.
    // this is needed to get the appropriate regions passed back.
    this->GraftOutput( lastFilterInMiniPipeline->GetOutput() );

For proper pipeline execution, a filter using a mini-pipeline must implement the GeneratseInputRequestedRegion(), GenerateOutputRequestedRegion(), GenerateOutputInformation() and EnlargeOutputRequestedRegion() methods as necessary to reflect how the mini-pipeline will execute (in other words, the outer filter's pipeline mechanism must be consistent with what the mini-pipeline will do).

bool itk::Object::HasObserver ( const EventObject & event ) const [inherited]

Return true if an observer is registered for this event.

void itk::Object::InvokeEvent ( const EventObject & ) const [inherited]

Call Execute on all the Commands observing this event id. The actions triggered by this call doesn't modify this object.

ImageDimension constants

Reimplemented in itk::ContourExtractor2DImageFilter< TInputImage >.

virtual DataObjectPointer itk::PathSource< TOutputPath >::MakeOutput ( unsigned int idx ) [virtual, inherited]

Make a DataObject of the correct type to used as the specified output. Every ProcessObject subclass must be able to create a DataObject that can be used as a specified output. This method is automatically called when DataObject::DisconnectPipeline() is called. DataObject::DisconnectPipeline, disconnects a data object from being an output of its current source. When the data object is disconnected, the ProcessObject needs to construct a replacement output data object so that the ProcessObject is in a valid state. So DataObject::DisconnectPipeline eventually calls ProcessObject::MakeOutput. Note that MakeOutput always returns a SmartPointer to a DataObject. If a subclass of ImageSource has multiple outputs of different types, then that class must provide an implementation of MakeOutput().

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

virtual void itk::Object::Modified ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Increase the reference count (mark as used by another object).

Reimplemented from itk::LightObject.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlagOff ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released/reallocated during an Update(). In limited memory scenarios, a user may want to force the elements of a pipeline to release any bulk data that is going to be regenerated anyway during an Update() in order to control peak memory allocation. Note that this flag is different from the ReleaseDataFlag. ReleaseDataFlag manages the deallocation of a ProcessObject's bulk output data once that data has been consumed by a downstream ProcessObject. The ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag manages the deallocation/reallocation of bulk data during a pipeline update to control peak memory utilization. Default value is on.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlagOn ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released/reallocated during an Update(). In limited memory scenarios, a user may want to force the elements of a pipeline to release any bulk data that is going to be regenerated anyway during an Update() in order to control peak memory allocation. Note that this flag is different from the ReleaseDataFlag. ReleaseDataFlag manages the deallocation of a ProcessObject's bulk output data once that data has been consumed by a downstream ProcessObject. The ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag manages the deallocation/reallocation of bulk data during a pipeline update to control peak memory utilization. Default value is on.

void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseDataFlagOff ( ) [inline, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released after being used by a downstream ProcessObject. Default value is off. Another options for controlling memory utilization is the ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag.

Definition at line 257 of file itkProcessObject.h.

void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseDataFlagOn ( ) [inline, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released after being used by a downstream ProcessObject. Default value is off. Another options for controlling memory utilization is the ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag.

Definition at line 256 of file itkProcessObject.h.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseInputs ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

A filter may need to release its input's bulk data after it has finished calculating a new output. The filter may need to release the inputs because the user has turned on the ReleaseDataFlag or it may need to release the inputs because the filter is an "in place" filter and it has overwritten its input with its output data. The implementation here simply checks the ReleaseDataFlag of the inputs. InPlaceImageFilter overrides this method so release the input it has overwritten.

Sets the reference count (use with care)

Reimplemented from itk::LightObject.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::SetReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag ( bool _arg ) [virtual, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released/reallocated during an Update(). In limited memory scenarios, a user may want to force the elements of a pipeline to release any bulk data that is going to be regenerated anyway during an Update() in order to control peak memory allocation.

virtual void itk::Object::UnRegister ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Decrease the reference count (release by another object).

Reimplemented from itk::LightObject.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::Update ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Bring this filter up-to-date. Update() checks modified times against last execution times, and re-executes objects if necessary. A side effect of this method is that the whole pipeline may execute in order to bring this filter up-to-date. This method updates the currently prescribed requested region. If no requested region has been set on the output, then the requested region will be set to the largest possible region. Once the requested region is set, Update() will make sure the specified requested region is up-to-date. This is a confusing side effect to users who are just calling Update() on a filter. A first call to Update() will cause the largest possible region to be updated. A second call to Update() will update that same region. If a modification to the upstream pipeline cause a filter to have a different largest possible region, this second call to Update() will not cause the output requested region to be reset to the new largest possible region. Instead, the output requested region will be the same as the last time Update() was called. To have a filter always to produce its largest possible region, users should call UpdateLargestPossibleRegion() instead.

Reimplemented in itk::CoreAtomImageToUnaryCorrespondenceMatrixProcess< TSourceImage >, itk::MedialNodePairCorrespondenceProcess< TSourceImage >, itk::MedialNodeTripletCorrespondenceProcess< TSourceImage >, itk::CoreAtomImageToDistanceMatrixProcess< TSourceImage >, itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >, and itk::ImageSeriesWriter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateLargestPossibleRegion ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Like Update(), but sets the output requested region to the largest possible region for the output. This is the method users should call if they want the entire dataset to be processed. If a user wants to update the same output region as a previous call to Update() or a previous call to UpdateLargestPossibleRegion(), then they should call the method Update().

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateOutputData ( DataObject * output ) [virtual, inherited]

Actually generate new output

Reimplemented in itk::StreamingImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateOutputInformation ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Update the information decribing the output data. This method transverses up the pipeline gathering modified time information. On the way back down the pipeline, this method calls GenerateOutputInformation() to set any necessary information about the output data objects. For instance, a filter that shrinks an image will need to provide an implementation for GenerateOutputInformation() that changes the spacing of the pixels. Such filters should call their superclass' implementation of GenerateOutputInformation prior to changing the information values they need (i.e. GenerateOutputInformation() should call Superclass::GenerateOutputInformation() prior to changing the information.

Reimplemented in itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >, itk::VTKImageImport< TOutputImage >, and itk::watershed::Segmenter< InputImageType >.

void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateProgress ( float amount ) [inherited]

Update the progress of the process object.

Sets the Progress ivar to amount and invokes any observers for the ProgressEvent. The parameter amount should be in [0,1] and is the cumulative (not incremental) progress.
