Detailed Description

template<typename TInputImage, typename THessianImage, typename TOutputImage = TInputImage>
class itk::MultiScaleHessianBasedMeasureImageFilter< TInputImage, THessianImage, TOutputImage >

A filter to enhance structures using Hessian eigensystem-based measures in a multiscale framework.

The filter evaluates a Hessian-based enhancement measure, such as vesselness or objectness, at different scale levels. The Hessian-based measure is computed from the Hessian image at each scale level and the best response is selected.

Minimum and maximum sigma value can be set using SetMinSigma and SetMaxSigma methods respectively. The number of scale levels is set using SetNumberOfSigmaSteps method. Exponentially distributed scale levels are computed within the bound set by the minimum and maximum sigma values

The filter computes a second output image (accessed by the GetScalesOutput method) containing the scales at which each pixel gave the best reponse.

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

unsigned long itk::Object::AddObserver	(	const EventObject &	event,

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

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]

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

virtual void itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >::AfterThreadedGenerateData ( void ) [inline, protected, virtual, inherited]

If an imaging filter needs to perform processing after all processing threads have completed, the filter can can provide an implementation for AfterThreadedGenerateData(). The execution flow in the default GenerateData() method will be: 1) Allocate the output buffer 2) Call BeforeThreadedGenerateData() 3) Spawn threads, calling ThreadedGenerateData() in each thread. 4) Call AfterThreadedGenerateData() Note that this flow of control is only available if a filter provides a ThreadedGenerateData() method and NOT a GenerateData() method.

Definition at line 265 of file itkImageSource.h.

template<class TOutputImage>

virtual void itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >::AllocateOutputs ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

The GenerateData method normally allocates the buffers for all of the outputs of a filter. Some filters may want to override this default behavior. For example, a filter may have multiple outputs with varying resolution. Or a filter may want to process data in place by grafting its input to its output.

template<class TOutputImage>

virtual void itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >::BeforeThreadedGenerateData ( void ) [inline, protected, virtual, inherited]

If an imaging filter needs to perform processing after the buffer has been allocated but before threads are spawned, the filter can can provide an implementation for BeforeThreadedGenerateData(). The execution flow in the default GenerateData() method will be: 1) Allocate the output buffer 2) Call BeforeThreadedGenerateData() 3) Spawn threads, calling ThreadedGenerateData() in each thread. 4) Call AfterThreadedGenerateData() Note that this flow of control is only available if a filter provides a ThreadedGenerateData() method and NOT a GenerateData() method.

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 void itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage , TOutputImage >::CallCopyInputRegionToOutputRegion	(	OutputImageRegionType &	destRegion,
		const InputImageRegionType &	srcRegion
	)			`[protected, virtual, inherited]`

This function calls the actual region copier to do the mapping from input image space to output image space. It uses a Function object used for dispatching to various routines to copy an input region (start index and size) to an output region. For most filters, this is a trivial copy because most filters require the input dimension to match the output dimension. However, some filters like itk::UnaryFunctorImageFilter can support output images of a higher dimension that the input.

This function object is used by the default implementation of GenerateOutputInformation(). It can also be used in routines like ThreadedGenerateData() where a filter may need to map an input region to an output region.

The default copier uses a "dispatch pattern" to call one of three overloaded functions depending on whether the input and output images are the same dimension, the input is a higher dimension that the output, or the input is of a lower dimension than the output. The use of an overloaded function is required for proper compilation of the various cases.

For the latter two cases, trivial implementations are used. If the input image is a higher dimension than the output, the first portion of the input region is copied to the output region. If the input region is a lower dimension than the output, the input region information is copied into the first portion of the output region and the rest of the output region is set to zero.

If a filter needs a different default behavior, it can override this method.

virtual void itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage , TOutputImage >::CallCopyOutputRegionToInputRegion	(	InputImageRegionType &	destRegion,
		const OutputImageRegionType &	srcRegion
	)			`[protected, virtual, inherited]`

This function calls the actual region copier to do the mapping from output image space to input image space. It uses a Function object used for dispatching to various routines to copy an output region (start index and size) to an input region. For most filters, this is a trivial copy because most filters require the input dimension to match the output dimension. However, some filters like itk::ExtractImageFilter can support output images of a lower dimension that the input.

This function object can be used by GenerateOutputInformation() to copy the input LargestPossibleRegion to the output LargestPossibleRegion and can also be used in GenerateData or ThreadedGenerateData() where a filter may need to map an output region to an input region.

The default copier uses a "dispatch pattern" to call one of three overloaded functions depending on whether the input and output images are the same dimension, the input is a higher dimension that the output, or the input is of a lower dimension than the output. The use of an overloaded function is required for proper compilation of the various cases.

For the latter two cases, trivial implementations are used. If the input image is a higher dimension than the output, the output region information is copied into the first portion of the input region and the rest of the input region is set to zero. If the input region is a lower dimension than the output, the first portion of the output region is copied to the input region.

If a filter needs a different default behavior, it can override this method. The ExtractImageFilter overrides this function object so that if the input image is a higher dimension than the output image, the filter can control "where" in the input image the output subimage is extracted (as opposed to mapping to first few dimensions of the input).

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.

template<typename TInputImage , typename THessianImage , typename TOutputImage = TInputImage>

void itk::MultiScaleHessianBasedMeasureImageFilter< TInputImage, THessianImage, TOutputImage >::EnlargeOutputRequestedRegion ( DataObject * ) [virtual]

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.

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

template<typename TInputImage , typename THessianImage , typename TOutputImage = TInputImage>

virtual void itk::MultiScaleHessianBasedMeasureImageFilter< TInputImage, THessianImage, TOutputImage >::GenerateHessianOutputOn ( ) [virtual]

Methods to turn on/off flag to generate an image with hessian values at each pixel for the best vesselness response

virtual void itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage , TOutputImage >::GenerateInputRequestedRegion ( void ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

What is the input requested region that is required to produce the output requested region? The base assumption for image processing filters is that the input requested region can be set to match the output requested region. If a filter requires more input (for instance a filter that uses neighborhoods needs more input than output to avoid introducing artificial boundary conditions) or less input (for instance a magnify filter) will have to override this method. In doing so, it should call its superclass' implementation as its first step. Note that imaging filters operate differently than the classes to this point in the class hierachy. Up till now, the base assumption has been that the largest possible region will be requested of the input.

This implementation of GenerateInputRequestedRegion() only processes the inputs that are a subclass of the ImageBase<InputImageDimension>. If an input is another type of DataObject (including an Image of a different dimension), they are skipped by this method. The subclasses of ImageToImageFilter are responsible for providing an implementation of GenerateInputRequestedRegion() when there are multiple inputs of different types.

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

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.

The routines are useful for applications that need to process "rolling" sets of images.

Again, this only makes sense for filters that single type of input.

Other uses are also possible. For a single input filter, pushing and popping inputs allow the application to temporarily replace an input to a filter.

OutputImageType* itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >::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.

For Filters which have multiple outputs of different types, the GetOutput() method assumes the output is of OutputImageType. For the GetOutput(unsigned int) method, a dynamic_cast is performed incase the filter has outputs of different types or image types. Derived classes should have names get methods for these outputs.

virtual void itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >::GraftNthOutput	(	unsigned int	idx,
		DataObject *	output
	)			`[virtual, inherited]`

Graft the specified data object onto this ProcessObject's idx'th output. This is similar to the GraftOutput method except it allows you to 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.

template<class TOutputImage>

virtual void itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >::GraftOutput ( DataObject * output ) [virtual, inherited]

Graft the specified DataObject onto this ProcessObject's output. This method grabs a handle to the specified DataObject's bulk data to used as its output's own bulk 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 GenerateInputRequestedRegion(), 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).

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.

void itk::Object::RemoveAllObservers ( ) [inherited]

Remove all observers .

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

virtual void itk::MultiScaleHessianBasedMeasureImageFilter< TInputImage, THessianImage, TOutputImage >::SetHessianToMeasureFilter ( HessianToMeasureFilterType * _arg ) [virtual]

Set/Get HessianToMeasureFilter. This will be a filter that takes Hessian input image and produces enhanced output scalar image. The filter must derive from itk::ImageToImage filter

virtual void itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage , TOutputImage >::SetInput	(	unsigned	int,
		const TInputImage *	image
	)			`[virtual, inherited]`

Push/Pop the input of this process object. These methods allow a filter to model its input vector as a queue or stack. These routines may not be appropriate for all filters, especially filters with different types of inputs. These routines follow the semantics of STL.

The routines are useful for applications that need to process "rolling" sets of images. For instance, if an application has 10 images and they need to run a filter on images 1, 2, 3, 4, then run the filter on images 2, 3, 4, 5, then run the filter on images 3, 4, 5, 6, the application can accomplish this by popping an input off the front of the input list and push a new image onto the back of input list. Again, this only makes sense for filters that single type of input.

Other uses are also possible. For a single input filter, pushing and popping inputs allow the application to temporarily replace an input to a filter.

virtual void itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage , TOutputImage >::SetInput ( const InputImageType * image ) [virtual, inherited]

virtual void itk::MultiScaleHessianBasedMeasureImageFilter< TInputImage, THessianImage, TOutputImage >::SetNonNegativeHessianBasedMeasure ( bool _arg ) [virtual]

Methods to turn on/off flag to inform the filter that the Hessian-based measure is non-negative (classical measures like Sato's and Frangi's are), hence it has a minimum at zero. In this case, the update buffer is initialized at zero, and the output scale and Hessian are zero in case the Hessian-based measure returns zero for all scales. Otherwise, the minimum output scale and Hessian are the ones obtained at scale SigmaMinimum. On by default.

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. 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::SetReleaseDataFlag ( bool flag ) [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.

template<class TOutputImage>

virtual int itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >::SplitRequestedRegion	(	int	i,
		int	num,
		OutputImageRegionType &	splitRegion
	)			`[protected, virtual, inherited]`

Split the output's RequestedRegion into "num" pieces, returning region "i" as "splitRegion". This method is called "num" times. The regions must not overlap. The method returns the number of pieces that the routine is capable of splitting the output RequestedRegion, i.e. return value is less than or equal to "num".

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

template<class TOutputImage>

virtual void itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >::ThreadedGenerateData	(	const OutputImageRegionType &	outputRegionForThread,
		int	threadId
	)			`[protected, virtual, inherited]`

If an imaging filter can be implemented as a multithreaded algorithm, the filter will provide an implementation of ThreadedGenerateData(). This superclass will automatically split the output image into a number of pieces, spawn multiple threads, and call ThreadedGenerateData() in each thread. Prior to spawning threads, the BeforeThreadedGenerateData() method is called. After all the threads have completed, the AfterThreadedGenerateData() method is called. If an image processing filter cannot support threading, that filter should provide an implementation of the GenerateData() method instead of providing an implementation of ThreadedGenerateData(). If a filter provides a GenerateData() method as its implementation, then the filter is responsible for allocating the output data. If a filter provides a ThreadedGenerateData() method as its implementation, then the output memory will allocated automatically by this superclass. The ThreadedGenerateData() method should only produce the output specified by "outputThreadRegion" parameter. ThreadedGenerateData() cannot write to any other portion of the output image (as this is responsibility of a different thread).

template<class TOutputImage>

static ITK_THREAD_RETURN_TYPE itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >::ThreaderCallback ( void * arg ) [static, protected, inherited]

Static function used as a "callback" by the MultiThreader. The threading library will call this routine for each thread, which will delegate the control to ThreadedGenerateData().

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.
