ITK/Examples/ImageProcessing/CropImageFilter

Description

This example demonstrates how to crop an image. The SetBoundaryCropSize( cropSize ) method specifies the size of the boundary to be cropped at both the uppper & lower ends of the image - e.g. cropSize/2 pixels will be removed at both upper & lower extents.

Output

The original image is displayed on the left. The cropped image is displayed on the right.
