[Insight-users] ImagePCAShapeModelEstimator

[Miller, James V (Research)]

You can use the ShiftScaleImageFilter to multiply an image
by a value.

The output is not normalized. Recalling that the the standard deviation 
of a Principal Component is the square root of the corresponding 
eigenvector, we can simply multiply each image output of the 
ImagePCAShapeModelEstimator by the square root of the corresponding 
eigenvector, which the ImagePCAShapeModelEstimator reports.

I do the multiplication with a functor, but you could use an iterator 
if you prefer.

Here's my multiplication functor. I don't think ITK has a 
MultiplyImageFilter, but if it does you could use that instead.

   template<class TInput, class TOutput> struct MultiplyFunctor {
     double Multiplier;
     TOutput operator() (const TInput &value) { return value * 
Multiplier;}
   };

   typedef MultiplyFunctor<OutputPixelType, OutputPixelType> 
MultiplyType;
   typedef itk::UnaryFunctorImageFilter<OutputImageType, 
OutputImageType, MultiplyType>
     ImageMultiplierType;

   typename ImageMultiplierType::Pointer multiplier = 
ImageMultiplierType::New();
   MultiplyType multFunctor;
   multFunctor.Multiplier = vcl_sqrt(eigenvalues[i]);
   multiplier->SetFunctor(multFunctor);
   multiplier->SetInput(m_PCAEstimator->GetOutput(i + 1));
   multiplier->Update();
