Detailed Description

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage>
class itk::HConvexImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >

Identify local maxima whose height above the baseline is greater than h.

HConvexImageFilter extract local maxima that are more than h intensity units above the (local) background. This has the effect of extracting objects that are brighter than background by at least h intensity units.

This filter uses the HMaximaImageFilter.

Geodesic morphology and the H-Convex algorithm is described in Chapter 6 of Pierre Soille's book "Morphological Image Analysis: Principles and Applications", Second Edition, Springer, 2003.

Member Function Documentation

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage> void itk::HConvexImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::EnlargeOutputRequestedRegion (  DataObject *   )  [protected, virtual]

HConvexImageFilter will produce the entire output. Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage> virtual void itk::HConvexImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::FullyConnectedOff (   )  [virtual]

Set/Get whether the connected components are defined strictly by face connectivity or by face+edge+vertex connectivity. Default is FullyConnectedOff. For objects that are 1 pixel wide, use FullyConnectedOn.

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage> virtual void itk::HConvexImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::FullyConnectedOn (   )  [virtual]

Set/Get whether the connected components are defined strictly by face connectivity or by face+edge+vertex connectivity. Default is FullyConnectedOff. For objects that are 1 pixel wide, use FullyConnectedOn.

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage> void itk::HConvexImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GenerateData (   )  [protected, virtual]

Single-threaded version of GenerateData. This filter delegates to GrayscaleGeodesicErodeImageFilter. Reimplemented from itk::ImageSource< TOutputImage >.

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage> void itk::HConvexImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GenerateInputRequestedRegion (   )  [protected, virtual]

HConvexImageFilter needs the entire input be available. Thus, it needs to provide an implementation of GenerateInputRequestedRegion(). Reimplemented from itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >.

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage> virtual const bool& itk::HConvexImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GetFullyConnected (   )  [virtual]

Set/Get whether the connected components are defined strictly by face connectivity or by face+edge+vertex connectivity. Default is FullyConnectedOff. For objects that are 1 pixel wide, use FullyConnectedOn.

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage> virtual InputImagePixelType itk::HConvexImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::GetHeight (   )  [virtual]

Set/Get the height that a local maximum must be above the local background (local contrast) in order to survive the processing. Local maxima below this value are replaced with an estimate of the local background.

Deprecated: Get the number of iterations used to produce the current output. This method is scheduled for removal since the implementation use a noniterative solution. Definition at line 92 of file itkHConvexImageFilter.h.

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputImage> itk::HConvexImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >::itkStaticConstMacro (  OutputImageDimension  , unsigned  int, TOutputImage::ImageDimension  )

Methods invoked by Print() to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes. Reimplemented from itk::ImageToImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >.
