Detailed Description

template<class TInputVectorImage, class TLabelsType = unsigned char, class TPosteriorsPrecisionType = double, class TPriorsPrecisionType = double>
class itk::BayesianClassifierImageFilter< TInputVectorImage, TLabelsType, TPosteriorsPrecisionType, TPriorsPrecisionType >

Performs Bayesian Classification on an image.

Inputs and Outputs: The input to this filter is an itk::VectorImage that represents pixel memberships to 'n' classes. This image is conveniently generated by the BayesianClassifierInitializationImageFilter. You may use that filter to generate the membership images or specify your own.

: The output of the filter is a label map (an image of unsigned char's is the default.) with pixel values indicating the classes they correspond to. Pixels with intensity 0 belong to the 0th class, 1 belong to the 1st class etc.... The classification is done by applying a Maximum decision rule to the posterior image.

Parameters: The filter optionally allows you to specify a prior image as well. The prior image, if specified must be a VectorImage with as many components as the number of classes. The posterior image is then generated by multiplying the prior image with the membership image. If the prior image is not specified, the posterior image is the same as the membership image. Another way to look at it is that the priors default to having a uniform distribution over the number of classes. Posterior membership of a pixel = Prior * Membership

: The filter optionally accepts a smoothing filter and number of iterations associated with the smoothing filter. The philosophy is that the filter allows you to iteratively smooth the posteriors prior to applying the decision rule. It is hoped that this would yield a better classification. The user will need to plug in his own smoothing filter with all the parameters set.

Template parameters: InputVectorImage, datatype of the output labelmap, precision of the posterior image, precision of the prior image.
