Detailed Description

template<class TPixelType, unsigned int TDimension>
class itk::watershed::BoundaryResolver< TPixelType, TDimension >

This filter implements a piece of the streaming watershed segmentation algorithm. It takes in pairs of itk::watershed::Boundary objects and connects the labeling of pixels across image chunk boundaries. Read the documentation found in itk::WatershedImageFilter and the other watershed segmentation component objects for more information.

A note on terminology in itk watershed segmentation code: For streamed segmentation of images in the watershed framework, the documentation refers to the complete data set at the ``image volume.'' The image volume is assumed to be partitioned into pieces referred to as image chunks. Each chunk is processed in sequence through the pipeline. The ``face'' of an image chunk is an N-1 dimensional boundary region of an N dimensional chunk (the planar faces of a cube, for example).

Input: The input to this filter is a pair of itk::watershed::Boundary pointers (BoundaryA and BoundaryB). The algorithm assumes that these Boundaries come from facing chunks in the image volume. The faces that align need to be specified in the parameters of the filter.

Output: This filter outputs a table of equivalencies among labels. See itk::EquivalencyTable for more information.

Parameters: The only parameters to set on this filter are the indicies of the faces that align in the boundary object inputs. See itk::Boundary for a description of how boundary faces are indexed.

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 *
	)			`[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 *
	)			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

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.

template<class TPixelType , unsigned int TDimension>

void itk::watershed::BoundaryResolver< TPixelType, TDimension >::GenerateData ( ) [virtual]

Standard non-threaded pipeline method

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

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.

template<class TPixelType , unsigned int TDimension>

void itk::watershed::BoundaryResolver< TPixelType, TDimension >::GenerateOutputRequestedRegion ( DataObject * output ) [protected, virtual]

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 from itk::ProcessObject.

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.

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.

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

Push/Pop an 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.

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

Push/Pop an 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.

virtual void itk::Object::Register ( ) 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
