Action Items

API Fixes

  • ImageToCoocurrenceListAdaptor
    • Create a Filter for this operation, in this class the Compute() method will be used.
    • Fix the API so it is a real Adaptor : must have a GetMeasurementVector(unsigned int id) method.
  • There is no conceptual difference between "Generators" and "Calculators"
    • They should become Filters
  • Estimators have similar characterstics as "Generators" and "Calculators"
    • They could be converted to filters

Proposals

  • Sample class could be derived from a DataObject
    • Subsequently, all the derived classes such as ListSampleBase, Histogram and Subsample will be part of the pipeline.
  • Add a typedef in the Sample class for the DataObjectDectorator of a Measurement vector
  • KDTree could be derived from a DataObject
  • ListSampleBase : to be deprecated
  • SampleAlgorithmBase will be derived from ProcessObject
    • Subsequently, classes derived from the SampleAlgorithmBase will be process objects.
  • The following Calculator classes will also be derived from process object
    • ScalarImageTextureCalculator
    • GreyLevelCooccurrenceMatrixTextureCoefficientsCalculator
  • The following Generator classes will be derived from process object
    • ImageToHistogramGenerator
    • ImageToListGenerator
    • KdTreeGenerator
    • ListSampleToHistogramGenerator
    • MaskedScalarImageToGreyLevelCooccurrenceMatrixGenerator
    • MembershipSampleGenerator
    • ScalarImageToGreyLevelCooccurrenceMatrixGenerator
    • ScalarImageToHistogramGenerator
    • SelectiveSubsampleGenerator
    • WeightedCentroidKdTreeGenerator
  • The following two generator classes will remain as generators
    • NormalVariateGenerator
    • RandomVariateGeneratorBase
  • Frequency container classes ( DenseFrequencyContainer and SparseFrequencyContainer ) do not need any modification at this point unless
    • there is a filter which outputs this data type ( in which case DataObjectDecorator can be defined )
