[Insight-users] IJ Publication Update...

[Hauke Heibel]

Hi there,

I just wanted to advertise our publication once again, since after a 
long time it is finally fixed.

While I am writing this e-mail, MIDAS is not yet up to date but you can 
find the working code here:
http://insight-journal.org/InsightJournalManager/view_reviews.php?pubid=204

The publication offers a new version of the 
itk::FloodFilledFunctionConditionalConstIterator and the 
itk::FloodFilledImageFunctionConditionalConstIterator which now allow to 
perform fully connected neighborhood iteration (8 connected in 2D and 26 
connected in 3D). Our intention was to be able to perform a fully 
connected region growing which was not yet possible with ITK since the 
itk::RegionGrowingFilter is fixed to 4er (2D) and 6er (3D) connectivity.

Unfortunately, since we are now using the 
itk::ShapedNeighborhoodIterator as our basis for the new iterators we 
have measured a relatively high abstraction penalty (20% slower as 
opposed to the low level implementation). Our code for performing this 
measurement is also included in the publication as well as three examples.

Any feedback is highly welcome!

Finally I'ld like to thank Zack and Julien for their support.

Regards,
Hauke
