[Insight-users] New itkLocalMaximaImageFilter on Insight Journal

[Bryn Lloyd]

Hi all,

I have submitted a new filter (& test) to extract local maxima in an
image. I submitted it to the Insight Journal:

http://www.insightsoftwareconsortium.org/InsightJournal/

The filter is implemented as a itkImageToMeshFilter. The output is a
pointset containing the points, and the values at the point locations.

Addionally the method GetLocalMaximaImage() returns a binary image, with 0
for the background and 1 for the points...

A pixel is considered a local maximum if it is larger than its neighbors.

Hope it will be added to ITK.
I intend to post some more code for local feature (for e.g. salient point
detector) computation, K-Order Distance Transform, Kriging etc soon

any comments welcome, thanks

Bryn
