9.78. ITK Zero Crossing Image Filter

This filter finds the closest pixel to the zero-crossings (sign changes) in a signed itk::Image .

Group (Subgroup)

ITKImageFeature (ImageFeature)

Description

Pixels closest to zero-crossings are labeled with a foreground value. All other pixels are marked with a background value. The algorithm works by detecting differences in sign among neighbors using city-block style connectivity (4-neighbors in 2d, 6-neighbors in 3d, etc.).

Parameter Information

  • The input to this filter is an itk::Image of arbitrary dimension. The algorithm assumes a signed data type (zero-crossings are not defined for unsigned int data types), and requires that operator>, operator<, operator==, and operator!= are defined.

  • The output of the filter is a binary, labeled image of user-specified type. By default, zero-crossing pixels are labeled with a default “foreground” value of itk::NumericTraits::OneValue() , where OutputDataType is the data type of the output image. All other pixels are labeled with a default “background” value of itk::NumericTraits::ZeroValue() .

  • There are two parameters for this filter. ForegroundValue is the value that marks zero-crossing pixels. The BackgroundValue is the value given to all other pixels.
