[Insight-users] Re: image Homogeniety

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Zein,

You could easily take the MeanImageFilter filter
http://www . itk . org/Insight/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1MeanImageFilter . html
and modify its loop for computing the standard
deviation of its neighborhood, instead of computing
the mean.

This should require to modify less than ten lines of code.
(between 131 and 145).

The filter is in
Insight/Code/BasicFilters/

   itkMeanImageFilter.h
   itkMeanImageFilter.txx

This filter is using internally the Neighborhood
iterator.

You could even use the

   itkVarianceImageFunction.h
http://www . itk . org/Insight/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1VarianceImageFunction . html

to help you in the computation of the standard
deviation so you don't even have to write the
loop for visiting all the neighbors.




Regards,


   Luis
