Detailed Description

The base class for all process objects (source, filters, mappers) in the Insight data processing pipeline.

ProcessObject is an abstract object that specifies behavior and interface of network process objects (sources, filters, mappers). Source objects are creators of visualization data; filters input, process, and output image data; and mappers transform data into another form (like transforming coordinates or writing data to a file).

A major role of ProcessObject is to define the inputs and outputs of a filter. More than one input and/or output may exist for a given filter. Some classes (e.g., source objects or mapper objects) will not use inputs (the source) or outputs (mappers). In this case, the inputs or outputs is just ignored.

The inputs and outputs are referenced by name. The Primary input and the Primary output play a special role: they drive the pipeline.

In addition to the reference by name, it is possible to access the inputs and outputs with an index. The index by default is mapped internally to the name of a '_' followed by the index number. This default name can be changed with the AddRequiredInputName method. The indexed input or output 0 is mapped to the Primary input or output. The name of the Primary input or output defaults to "Primary", but this can be changed with SetPrimaryInputName and SetPrimaryOutputName.

For complicated filters which have optional, or varied required inputs, named input access is preferred. However, indexed input access provides constant time access to input and output DataObjects, and so are more efficient. A name can also be associated with an indexed input. Neither type of input or output should be accessed in a tight loop.

ProcessObject invokes the following events: Command::StartEvent, Command::EndEvent These are convenience events you can use for any purpose (e.g., debugging info, highlighting/notifying user interface, etc.) See Command and LightObject for information on using AddObserver.

Another event Command::ProgressEvent can be observed. Some filters invoke this event periodically during their execution (with the progress, parameter, the fraction of work done). The use is similar to that of StartEvent and EndEvent. Filters may also check their AbortGenerateData flag to determine whether to prematurally end their execution.

An important feature of subclasses of ProcessObject is that it is possible to control the memory-management model (i.e., retain output versus delete output data). The ReleaseDataFlag enables the deletion of the output data once the downstream process object finishes processing the data (please see text). The ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag enables the deletion of the ProcessObject's output data from a previous update if that output data is slated to be regenerated by the pipeline process. Setting this flag can control peak memory usage during a subsequent pipeline update. For a ProcessObject, the ReleaseDataFlag defaults to false and the ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag defaults to true. Some subclasses of ProcessObject, for example ImageSource, use a default setting of false for the ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag.

Subclasses of ProcessObject may override 4 of the methods of this class to control how a given filter may interact with the pipeline (dataflow). These methods are: GenerateOutputInformation(), EnlargeOutputRequestedRegion(), GenerateInputRequestedRegion(), and GenerateOutputRequestedRegion(). By overriding these methods, a filter can deviate from the base assumptions of the pipeline execution model.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::CacheInputReleaseDataFlags ( )

protectedvirtual

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 void itk::ProcessObject::EnlargeOutputRequestedRegion ( DataObject * )

inlinevirtual

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 319 of file itkProcessObject.h.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateData ( void )

inlineprotectedvirtual

This method causes the filter to generate its output.

Definition at line 662 of file itkProcessObject.h.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateInputRequestedRegion ( )

protectedvirtual

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 ( )

protectedvirtual

Generate the information describing 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.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateOutputRequestedRegion ( DataObject * output )

protectedvirtual

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.

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.

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().

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::ProcessObject::PopBackInput ( )

protectedvirtual

Push/Pop an indexed 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::PopFrontInput ( )

protectedvirtual

Push/Pop an indexed 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::PrepareOutputs ( )

virtual

An opportunity to deallocate a ProcessObject's bulk data storage. Some filters may wish to reuse existing bulk data storage to avoid unnecessary deallocation/allocation sequences. The default implementation calls Initialize() on each output. DataObject::Initialize() frees its bulk data by default.

Reimplemented in itk::WatershedImageFilter< TInputImage >.

void itk::ProcessObject::PrintSelf	(	std::ostream &	os,
		Indent	indent
	)		const

protectedvirtual

Methods invoked by Print() to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::PropagateRequestedRegion ( DataObject * output )

virtual

Send the requested region information back up the pipeline (to the filters that precede this one).

Reimplemented in itk::VTKImageImport< TOutputImage >, itk::PipelineMonitorImageFilter< TImageType >, and itk::StreamingImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::PropagateResetPipeline ( )

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::PushBackInput ( const DataObject * input )

protectedvirtual

Push/Pop an indexed 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 )

protectedvirtual

Push/Pop an indexed 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::ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlagOff ( )

virtual

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

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

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.

Definition at line 350 of file itkProcessObject.h.

void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseDataFlagOn ( )

inline

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.

Definition at line 349 of file itkProcessObject.h.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseInputs ( )

protectedvirtual

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.

void itk::ProcessObject::SetRequiredInputNames ( const NameArray & )

protected

Methods to add/remove and query the set of required inputs by name.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::Update ( )

virtual

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::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >, itk::MeshFileWriter< TInputMesh >, itk::ImageSeriesWriter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >, itk::VideoFileWriter< TInputVideoStream >, and itk::ImageToVTKImageFilter< TInputImage >.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateLargestPossibleRegion ( )

virtual

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().

Reimplemented in itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >, and itk::VideoFileWriter< TInputVideoStream >.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateOutputData ( DataObject * output )

virtual

Actually generate new output

Reimplemented in itk::FFTWComplexToComplexImageFilter< TImage >, itk::TemporalProcessObject, itk::FFTWForwardFFTImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >, itk::FFTWRealToHalfHermitianForwardFFTImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >, itk::FFTWHalfHermitianToRealInverseFFTImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >, and itk::StreamingImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateOutputInformation ( )

virtual

Update the information describing 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::watershed::Segmenter< InputImageType >, itk::VTKImageImport< TOutputImage >, itk::TemporalProcessObject, itk::VideoToVideoFilter< TInputVideoStream, TOutputVideoStream >, itk::VideoToVideoFilter< itk::VideoStream< TImageToImageFilter::InputImageType >, itk::VideoStream< TImageToImageFilter::OutputImageType > >, itk::VideoToVideoFilter< TVideoStream, TVideoStream >, and itk::VideoFileReader< TOutputVideoStream >.

void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateProgress ( float amount )

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.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::VerifyInputInformation ( )

protectedvirtual

Verifies that the inputs meta-data is consistent and valid for continued execution of the pipeline, throws an exception if not valid.

This method is called immediately before GenerateOutputInformation().

The ProcessObject implementation does nothing. Subclasses might check if all the inputs are in the same coordinate frame.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::VerifyPreconditions ( )

protectedvirtual

Verifies that the process object has been configured correctly, that all required inputs are set, and needed parameters are set appropriately. If not valid an exceptions will be thrown.

This method is called before UpdateOutputInformation is propagated to the inputs.

The ProcessObject's implementation verifies that the NumberOfRequiredInputs are set and not null.

Reimplemented in itk::RecursiveGaussianImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >, and itk::ScalarImageKmeansImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >.
