Hello,
I am suggesting using a cross structuring element, which has the same topology as the 4-connected neighborhood. The output of gray scale dilation is the maximum value of the pixels contained in the structuring element at a location. There are plenty of textbooks and website which provide a more in depth description of grayscale morphology if you need further information.
SimpleITK's python binding may be a good tool to interactively explore how to combine some of these filters to get your desired results.

Hope that helps,Brad

Just to make sure, you are suggesting I use use the itkGrayScaleDilateImageFilter with a binary ball structuring element of radius 1 followed by a itkThresholdImageFilter. Is that correct? How is the dilation helping find the 4-connected voxels that share the intensity property?

Many many thanks,Mirco

Hello,
I think a Grayscale dilate and then a threshold may do what you want, if you use a cross with a radius one. The dilate with take the maximum over this template.
Hope that helps.Brad

I have a 2D gray-scale image and I need to locate all the sets of 4-connected voxels that have an intensity below a certain threshold. Do you know which method may be the best in order to do so?
Many thanks in advance for your help,Mirco_____________________________________
