[Insight-users] Very basic help required: Compiling and using binaryAttributeMorphology

[Neal R. Harvey]

I would like to be able to calculate some attributes of objects in 
images that I have found using segmentation
algorithms.

I have found the binaryAttributeMorphology code and the associated paper 
and was hoping that
these would prove useful. However, I have to say that I have had no luck 
so far. I can't even get the code to
compile. Then, even if I could do that, I have to admit that the paper 
(Label Object Representation and Manipulation
with ITK) is not so easy to read and distilling from this how to 
implement even something as easy as extracting the
area of an object, it's perimeter, Feret Diameter, etc. has proven 
rather difficult. I am confident that the capability is
in there, it is just rather hard to extract the information necessary in 
order to make use of these capabilities.

If anyone has some hints on how to modify ones CMake files to enable the 
binaryAttributeMorphology code to
compile and any example code snippets that show the use of the 
functionality for extracting object attributes,
it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks and regards

Harve
