Detailed Description

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage>
class itk::AnisotropicDiffusionImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >

This filter is the base class for a set of filters that iteratively diffuse images by solving non-linear partial differential equations based on the classical heat equation. For an overview of the diffusion algorithm, see AnisotropicImageFunction. AnisotropicDiffusionImageFilter is a subclass of itkFiniteDifferenceImageFilter and is part of the finite difference solver hierarchy.

Inputs and Outputs: This is an image-to-image filter. The requirements for data types and dimensionality of the input and output are defined by subclasses. In general, these filters expect images of real-valued types. This means pixel types of floats, doubles, or a user-defined type with floating point accuracy and arithmetic operations.

Parameters: Set/GetNumberOfIterations specifies the number of iterations (time-step updates) that the solver will perform to produce a solution image. The appropriate number of iterations is dependent on the application and the image being processed. As a general rule, the more iterations performed, the more diffused the image will become.

: Set/GetTimeStep sets the time step to be used for each iteration (update). This parameter is described in detail in itkAnisotropicDiffusionFunction. The time step is constrained at run-time to keep the solution stable. In general, the time step should be at or below $(PixelSpacing)/2^{N+1}$ , where is the dimensionality of the image.

: Set/GetConductanceParameter set a common parameter used by subclasses of itkAnisotropicDiffusionFunction. See itkAnisotropicDiffusionFunction for detailed information.

How to use this filter: AnisotropicDiffusionImageFilter must be subclassed to be used. This class implements a generic framework for other diffusion filters.
