[ITK-users] [ITK] Texture analysis - two basics questions

​Hi Yohann,

line 56 in your TextureFeature.cxx:
glcmGenerator->SetPixelValueMinMax(0, 255); //for input UCHAR pixel type
could be the culprit.​ The input files in my example
<http://itk.org/Wiki/ITK/Examples/Statistics/TextureFeatures> were uchar,
and 0-255 range was OK. For general processing, you should use minMax finder
<http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1MinimumMaximumImageCalculator.html>
and
pass those 2 values to calcTextureFeatureImage function. Your
*Example_DataMatrix.csv* contained values over 255 (300+), but not a lot of
them. The other image might have higher maximum values or negative minimum
values, which would cause more anomalies such as NaNs.

As for conversion of DICOM to MHA or NRRD, you can use Slicer for that.
Just import it via DICOM module, and then save them with .mha or .nrrd
extension. Then you can read them easily via itk::ImageFileReader.

HTH,
Dženan
