[ITK Community] [Insight-developers] select an item from a binary image

Hi,

That is what the BoundingBoxImageLabelMapFilter is suppose to do. It crops an axis aligned bounding box around a label in the label map infrastructure.

What are you trying to do?

And why did you try this approach?

There is the MaskImageFilter[1] that may suit your needs.
