Thank you Bradley for your answer.
(I think the link to the example is missing. At least I cannot see it.
Would it be possible for you to send it again ? Thank you).
What I have for now is the output of RelabelComponentImageFilter, which is
a "labelmap" with a label and the size for each object.
Now, I loop over all labels found, and I check the size. If the size is in
a range (defined by me), I want to use the label corresponding to mask
(remove) these voxels from the original image.
The problem for now is I cannot even compile the code. Everything compile
and work until I try to create the itk::LabelMapMaskImageFilter, then I got
compilation error about LabelMapFilter.h not having LabelObjectType, and
Iterator (I checked on LabelMapFilter.h and LabelMapMaskFilter.h and they
both have a typedef for LabelObjectType).
I created an image type, unsigned short with 3 dimensions, and I passed
this as input and output type for LabelMapMaskImageFilter (that I typedef
MaskFilter). Is it what's required for this filter ?
But when I try to do:
typename MaskFilter::Pointer mFilter = MaskFilter::New();
I got the error at compilation about LabelObjectType.
This is how I built all other ITK filters so far. I don't understand why
this one is not compiling.
Thank you very much.
