Detailed Description

template<typename TSparseImageType>
class itk::NormalVectorDiffusionFunction< TSparseImageType >

This class defines all the necessary functionality for performing isotropic and anisotropic diffusion operations on vector neighborhoods from a sparse image.

: This class implements the actual computations for performing isotropic and anisotropic diffusion operations on a neighborhood of unit length vectors. Moreover, this processing is intrinsic to a manifold as specified by the ManifoldNormal member variables in the nodes of the sparse image.

: Since the only difference between isotropic and anisotropic diffusion is the exectution of 1 extra line of code, we have implemented both in this class and made the choice between the two depend on a parameter (see below).

PARAMETERS: The choice between is isotropic/anisotropic diffusion is made by the parameter NormalProcessType. A value of 0 corresponds to isotropic diffusion whereas a value of 1 corresponds to anisotropic diffusion. If anisotropic diffusion is chosen, the parameter ConductanceParameter should be set. This conductance parameter determines the level of feature preservation.

IMPORTANT: This class works on SparseImage neighborhoods. Before using this class please read the documentation for SparseImage. Also the documentation for ImplicitManifoldNormalVectorField class will be helpful in understanding how to use this class as a function object.
