ITK/Examples/SimpleOperations/ImageDuplicator

This example demonstrates how to copy/clone/duplicate an image so it can continue down two separate paths of the pipeline.

ImageDuplicator.cxx

<source lang="cpp">

1. include "itkImage.h"
2. include "itkImageDuplicator.h"
3. include "itkRandomImageSource.h"

int main(int, char *[]) {

 typedef itk::Image< unsigned char, 2 >  ImageType;

 itk::RandomImageSource<ImageType>::Pointer randomImageSource =
   itk::RandomImageSource<ImageType>::New();
 randomImageSource->SetNumberOfThreads(1); // to produce non-random results

 randomImageSource->Update();
 ImageType::Pointer image = randomImageSource->GetOutput();

 typedef itk::ImageDuplicator< ImageType > DuplicatorType;
 DuplicatorType::Pointer duplicator = DuplicatorType::New();
 duplicator->SetInputImage(image);
 duplicator->Update();
 ImageType::Pointer clonedImage = duplicator->GetOutput();
 
 return EXIT_SUCCESS;
