ITK/Examples

These are fully independent, compilable examples. There is significant overlap in the examples, but they are each intended to illustrate a different concept and be fully stand alone compilable. Please add examples in your areas of expertise!

Simple Operations

Example Name	ITK Classes Demonstrated	Description
Distance between two points	Point
Create a vector	Vector
Create a covariant vector	CovariantVector
Variable length vector	VariableLengthVector	main() works properly, but neither conversion seems to work.

Working with Images

Small Problems

Example Name	ITK Classes Demonstrated	Description
Crop an image	CropImageFilter	Works, but I'm not exactly sure how to specify the crop region. The documentation should be improved.
Pad an image with a constant value	ConstantPadImageFilter	Not sure how to specify the final output size/extent. The documentation should be improved.
Pad an image	MirrorPadImageFilter	Not sure how to specify the final output size/extent. The documentation should be improved.
Pad an image by wrapping	WrapPadImageFilter	Not sure how to specify the final output size/extent. The documentation should be improved.
Shrink an image	ShrinkImageFilter	Image doesn't seem to be shrunk?
Flip an image over specified axes	FlipImageFilter	The axes specification is not quite right - warning: address of axes always evaluates true
Convert a VTK image to an ITK image	VTKImageToImageFilter	Seems to expect an input image with only 1 component? (i.e. greyscale)
Normalized correlation	NormalizedCorrelationImageFilter	Output is all black?
Iterate over a region of an image with a shaped neighborhood	ShapedNeighborhoodIterator	How do you specify the neighborhood?

Big Problems

Example Name	ITK Classes Demonstrated	Description
Join images, stacking their components	JoinImageFilter	How to convert the vector image produced by the joinFilter to a standard image?
Find the best position of the moving image in the fixed image.	MeanSquaresImageToImageMetric	Output (0,0) is incorrect.
Translate an image	TranslationTransform, ResampleImageFilter	This example currently freezes.
Compute and display the gradient of an image	GradientImageFilter	Blank output.
