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 *
	)			`[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

void itk::VotingBinaryHoleFillingImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::AfterThreadedGenerateData ( ) [protected, virtual]

Methods to be called before and after the invokation of ThreadedGenerateData().

Reimplemented from itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >.

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 TInputImage , class TOutputImage >

void itk::VotingBinaryHoleFillingImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::BeforeThreadedGenerateData ( ) [protected, virtual]

Methods to be called before and after the invokation of ThreadedGenerateData().

Reimplemented from itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >.

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().

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage>

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.

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage>

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.

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.

template<class TOutputImage>

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

A version of GenerateData() specific for image processing filters. This implementation will split the processing across multiple threads. The buffer is allocated by this method. Then the BeforeThreadedGenerateData() method is called (if provided). Then, a series of threads are spawned each calling ThreadedGenerateData(). After all the threads have completed processing, the AfterThreadedGenerateData() method is called (if provided). If an image processing filter cannot be threaded, the filter should provide an implementation of GenerateData(). That implementation is responsible for allocating the output buffer. If a filter an be threaded, it should NOT provide a GenerateData() method but should provide a ThreadedGenerateData() instead.

See also:: ThreadedGenerateData()

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

template<class TInputImage , class TOutputImage >

virtual void itk::VotingBinaryImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GenerateInputRequestedRegion ( ) throw (InvalidRequestedRegionError) [virtual, inherited]

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

See also:: ImageToImageFilter::GenerateInputRequestedRegion()

Reimplemented from itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >.

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.

Reimplemented in itk::MultiResolutionPyramidImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >, itk::RecursiveMultiResolutionPyramidImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >, itk::watershed::BoundaryResolver< TPixelType, TDimension >, itk::watershed::EquivalenceRelabeler< TScalarType, TImageDimension >, itk::watershed::Relabeler< TScalarType, TImageDimension >, itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >, itk::watershed::SegmentTreeGenerator< TScalarType >, itk::watershed::Relabeler< ScalarType, itkGetStaticConstMacro(ImageDimension)>, itk::watershed::Segmenter< InputImageType >, and itk::watershed::SegmentTreeGenerator< ScalarType >.

virtual const unsigned int& itk::VotingBinaryImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GetBirthThreshold ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Birth threshold. Pixels that are OFF will turn ON when the number of neighbors ON is larger than the value defined in this threshold.

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.

template<class TInputImage , class TOutputImage >

virtual const InputPixelType& itk::VotingBinaryImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GetForegroundValue ( ) [virtual, inherited]

template<class TInputImage , class TOutputImage >

virtual const unsigned int& itk::VotingBinaryHoleFillingImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GetMajorityThreshold ( ) [virtual]

Majority threshold. It is the number of pixels over 50% that will decide whether an OFF pixel will become ON or not. For example, if the neighborhood of a pixel has 124 pixels (excluding itself), the 50% will be 62, and if you set upd a Majority threshold of 5, that means that the filter will require 67 or more neighbor pixels to be ON in order to switch the current OFF pixel to ON. The default value is 1.

MetaDataDictionary& itk::Object::GetMetaDataDictionary ( void ) [inherited]

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 DataObjectPointer itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >::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().

virtual void itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::PopBackInput ( ) [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::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.

	)			`[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".

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

VotingBinaryImageFilter can be implemented as a multithreaded filter. Therefore, this implementation provides a ThreadedGenerateData() routine which is called for each processing thread. The output image data is allocated automatically by the superclass prior to calling ThreadedGenerateData(). ThreadedGenerateData can only write to the portion of the output image specified by the parameter "outputRegionForThread"

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).

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.
