[Insight-users] (off-list) Texture feature extraction

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello Dženan,

It appears that you are trying to compute texture attributes for each pixel. This is very much not what the texture filters was originally designed for. It was designed to extract texture attributes from a segmented region.

A couple months ago I prototyped a couple of filters to run this on a per-pixel basis, as your wiki example did. They worked to prove my point but I have not gotten the chance to return to this work. I am not guaranteeing the quality of the code...

I could extract them into a external ITK module and place them on github. Perhaps there you could fork it and continue work or other wise collaborate on this work?

Brad
