Dear itk-users,<br>
<br>
For our research on texture features describing changes in the
chromatin distribution in cell nuclei we need to do calculations on
cells. We already have segmentation results (stored in a grey-scale
image where each cell has a unique constant grey-value representing its
number), but now we want to compute statistics on those separate cells.
However, I can not find a method in ITK to compute several statistics
(for example using <a class="el"
href="http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1MinimumMaximumImageFilter.html">itk::MinimumMaximumImageFilter</a>
or <a class="el"
href="http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1MinimumMaximumImageCalculator.html">itk::MinimumMaximumImageCalculator</a>
and <a class="el"
href="http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1StatisticsImageFilter.html">itk::StatisticsImageFilter</a>)
using a masked image. Of course I can make a bounding box around each
cell and than compute those statistics, but that will introduce a large
error for most statistics. <br>
Are there any possibilities in ITK to use a mask to restrict
computations on images to certain regions?<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance,<br>
