Detailed Description

template<class TPixel, unsigned int VImageDimension = 2>
class itk::Image< TPixel, VImageDimension >

Templated n-dimensional image class.

Images are templated over a pixel type (modeling the dependent variables), and a dimension (number of independent variables). The container for the pixel data is the ImportImageContainer.

Within the pixel container, images are modeled as arrays, defined by a start index and a size.

There are three sets of meta-data describing an image. These are "Region" objects that define a portion of an image via a starting index for the image array and a size. The ivar LargestPossibleRegion defines the size and starting index of the image dataset. The entire image dataset, however, need not be resident in memory. The region of the image that is resident in memory is defined by the "BufferedRegion". The Buffer is a contiguous block of memory. The third set of meta-data defines a region of interest, called the "RequestedRegion". The RequestedRegion is used by the pipeline execution model to define what a filter is requested to produce.

[RegionIndex, RegionSize] C [BufferIndex, BufferSize] C [ImageIndex, ImageSize]

Pixels can be accessed direcly using the SetPixel() and GetPixel() methods or can be accessed via iterators. Begin() creates an iterator that can walk a specified region of a buffer.

The pixel type may be one of the native types; a Insight-defined class type such as Vector; or a user-defined type. Note that depending on the type of pixel that you use, the process objects (i.e., those filters processing data objects) may not operate on the image and/or pixel type. This becomes apparent at compile-time because operator overloading (for the pixel type) is not supported.

The data in an image is arranged in a 1D array as [][][][slice][row][col] with the column index varying most rapidly. The Index type reverses the order so that with Index[0] = col, Index[1] = row, Index[2] = slice, ...

virtual unsigned int itk::Image< TPixel, VImageDimension >::GetNumberOfComponentsPerPixel ( ) const [virtual]

INTERNAL This method is used internally by filters to copy meta-data from the output to the input. Users should not have a need to use this method.

Filters that override the ProcessObject's GenerateOutputInformation() should generally have the following line if they want to propagate meta- data for both Image and VectorImage

 outputImage->SetNumberOfComponentsPerPixel(
    inputImage->GetNumberOfComponentsPerPixel() )
See also:
ImageBase, VectorImage

Returns/Sets the number of components in the image. Note that for all images this is 1. Even for Image< RGBPixel< T >, 3 >. This is >= 1 only for time-series images such as itk::VectorImage.

Reimplemented from itk::ImageBase< VImageDimension >.

template<class TPixel, unsigned int VImageDimension = 2>
TPixel& itk::Image< TPixel, VImageDimension >::GetPixel ( const IndexType index) [inline]

template<class TPixel, unsigned int VImageDimension = 2>
const TPixel& itk::Image< TPixel, VImageDimension >::GetPixel ( const IndexType index) const [inline]

template<class TPixel, unsigned int VImageDimension = 2>
virtual void itk::Image< TPixel, VImageDimension >::Graft ( const DataObject data) [virtual]

Graft the data and information from one image to another. This is a convenience method to setup a second image with all the meta information of another image and use the same pixel container. Note that this method is different than just using two SmartPointers to the same image since separate DataObjects are still maintained. This method is similar to ImageSource::GraftOutput(). The implementation in ImageBase simply calls CopyInformation() and copies the region ivars. The implementation here refers to the superclass' implementation and then copies over the pixel container.

Reimplemented from itk::ImageBase< VImageDimension >.

Restore the data object to its initial state. This means releasing memory.

Method for grafting the content of one data object into another one. This method is intended to be overloaded by derived classes.
