#include <itkRecursiveGaussianImageFilter.h>
Base class for computing IIR convolution with an approximation of a Gaussian kernel.
RecursiveGaussianImageFilter is the base class for recursive filters that approximate convolution with the Gaussian kernel. This class implements the recursive filtering method proposed by R.Deriche in IEEE-PAMI Vol.12, No.1, January 1990, pp 78-87, "Fast Algorithms for Low-Level Vision"
Details of the implementation are described in the technical report: R. Deriche, "Recursively Implementing The Gaussian and Its Derivatives", INRIA, 1993, ftp://ftp.inria.fr/INRIA/tech-reports/RR/RR-1893.ps.gz
Further improvements of the algorithm are described in: G. Farneback & C.-F. Westin, "On Implementation of Recursive Gaussian Filters", so far unpublished.
As compared to itk::DiscreteGaussianImageFilter, this filter tends to be faster for large kernels, and it can take the derivative of the blurred image in one step. Also, note that we have itk::RecursiveGaussianImageFilter::SetSigma(), but itk::DiscreteGaussianImageFilter::SetVariance().

Create an object from an instance, potentially deferring to a factory. This method allows you to create an instance of an object that is exactly the same type as the referring object. This is useful in cases where an object has been cast back to a base class.

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.

Explicitly set a first order derivative.

Set/Get the flag for normalizing the gaussian over scale-space.
This flag enables the analysis of the differential shape of features independent of their size ( both pixels and physical size ). Following the notation of Tony Lindeberg:
Let
be the scale-space representation of image
where
is the Gaussian function and
denotes convolution. This is a change from above with
.
Then the normalized derivative operator for normalized coordinates across scale is:
The resulting scaling factor is
where N is the order of the derivative.
When this flag is ON the filter will be normalized in such a way that the values of derivatives are not biased by the size of the object. That is to say the maximum value a feature reaches across scale is independent of the scale of the object.
For analyzing an image across scale-space you want to enable this flag. It is disabled by default.

Set up the coefficients of the filter to approximate a specific kernel. Here it is used to approximate a Gaussian or one of its derivatives. Parameter is the spacing along the dimension to filter.

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.
