Detailed Description

template<class TInputImage>
class itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >

This filter implements the first step in the N-d watershed segmentation algorithm. It produces a segmented, labeled image from a scalar-valued image input. This filter is used in conjunction with WatershedSegmentTreeGenerator and WatershedRelabeler to produce a final segmented image volume. See itk::WatershedImageFilter for an overview of the entire algorithm and notes on the terminology used in describing it.

The filter is designed to operate in streaming or non-streaming mode. For more information, see the itk::WatershedImageFilter documentation.
Input
There is one input to this algorithm, a real-valued (scalar) itk::Image of arbitrary dimension. The input is assumed to represents a height function, such as a gradient magnitude edge image. The filter can process an image of any dimension. Note that the terms ``pixel'' and ``voxel'' are interchangeable in this and other watershed component class documentation.
Outputs
There are three potential outputs of this algorithm described below.
The first output is a labeled image of IdentifierType integers. This is an initial segmentation and labeling that is fed into successive components of the watershed algorithm.
The second output is a table of segment information, itk::watershed::SegmentTable. This table is a record of each segment numbered in the initial segmentation (output number one) with relevant information needed in successive stages of the algorithm.
The third output is a data structure containing boundary pixel information, itk::watershed::Boundary. This data is only generated if the flag DoBoundaryAnalysis is set to true and is only useful in streaming applications.
Parameters
Threshold is specified as a percentage (0.0 - 1.0) of the maximum height of the image. This filter thresholds the input image to remove all values below $ L = min + T * (max - min) $, where $ max, min $ are the maximum, minimum values in the image and $ T $ is the threshold parameter value. Values in the image less than $ L $ are raised to $ L $.
Thresholding minimum values in the image decreases the number of local minima in the image and produces an initial segmentation with fewer segments. The assumption is that the ``shallow'' regions that this thresholding eliminates are generally not of interest.

Standard non-threaded pipeline execution method.

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

template<class TInputImage>
void itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >::GenerateInputRequestedRegion ( ) [protected, virtual]

This method asks for an image region that is one pixel larger at each boundary than the region being processed. This single pixel expansion represents an overlap with adjacent image chunks

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

template<class TInputImage>
void itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >::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.

template<class TInputImage>
virtual bool itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >::GetSortEdgeLists ( ) const [virtual]

Determines whether the algorithm will sort the adjacencies in its SegmentTable before returning. Default is true. This is an option only useful for streaming applications where the sorting only needs to be done after all iterations have taken place.

template<class TInputImage>
virtual double itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >::GetThreshold ( ) const [virtual]

Gets/Sets the input threshold. Threshold is specified as a percentage (0.0 - 1.0) of the maximum height of the image. This filter thresholds the input image to remove all values below $ L = min + T * (max - min) $, where $ max, min $ are the maximum, minimum values in the image and $ T $ is the threshold parameter value. Values in the image less than $ L $ are raised to $ L $. Thresholding minimum values in the image decreases the number of local minima in the image and produces an initial segmentation with fewer segments. The assumption is that the ``shallow'' regions that this thresholding eliminates are generally not of interest.

template<class TInputImage>
void itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >::GradientDescent ( InputImageTypePointer  ,
ImageRegionType   
) [protected]

Follows each unlabeled pixel in the image down its path of steepest descent. Each pixel along that path is identified with the local minima already labeled at the end of the path.

template<class TInputImage>

Labels all the local minima in the image. Also identifies and labels connected ``flat'' regions.

template<class TInputImage>
virtual DataObjectPointer itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >::MakeOutput ( DataObjectPointerArraySizeType  idx) [virtual]

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 itkSmartPointer to a DataObject. ImageSource and MeshSource override this method to create the correct type of image and mesh respectively. If a filter has multiple outputs of different types, then that filter must provide an implementation of MakeOutput().

virtual void itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >::SetThreshold ( double  _arg) [virtual]

Gets/Sets the input threshold. Threshold is specified as a percentage (0.0 - 1.0) of the maximum height of the image. This filter thresholds the input image to remove all values below $ L = min + T * (max - min) $, where $ max, min $ are the maximum, minimum values in the image and $ T $ is the threshold parameter value. Values in the image less than $ L $ are raised to $ L $. Thresholding minimum values in the image decreases the number of local minima in the image and produces an initial segmentation with fewer segments. The assumption is that the ``shallow'' regions that this thresholding eliminates are generally not of interest.

template<class TInputImage>
static void itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >::Threshold ( InputImageTypePointer  destination,
InputImageTypePointer  source,
const ImageRegionType  source_region,
const ImageRegionType  destination_region,
InputPixelType  threshold 
) [static, protected]

Helper function. Thresholds low values and copies values from one image into another. The source and destination regions must match in size (not enforced). For integral types, the dynamic range of the image is adjusted such that the maximum value in the image is always at least one less than the maximum value allowed for that data type.

template<class TInputImage>
void itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >::UpdateOutputInformation ( ) [protected, virtual]

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 from itk::ProcessObject.

template<class TInputImage>
void itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >::UpdateSegmentTable ( InputImageTypePointer  ,
ImageRegionType   
) [protected]

Adds entries to the output segment table for all labeled segments in the image.
