[Insight-users] Pointer to pixel buffer, was:logarithmic intensity transformation

[Jan Schreiber]

Hi Isabelle, 

 TPixel* itk::Image< TPixel, VImageDimension >::GetBufferPointer()

gives you a pointer to the pixel buffer :-)

Best regards, 
Jan

Hi,
 
I already knew about GetPixel() and SetPixel() methods as well as iterators to access the value of one pixel of my image. 
 
But is there already a method which enables me to retrieve the pixel data of my image directly in one matrix, such as GetBuffer or something like that? Maybe this is not the ideal but I was more familiar with having data stocked in one matrix and accessing pixel data via for loop and  so on....

Hi Isabelle

How to access the pixel data is described in the ITK Software Guide

http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf 

Look for the chapter 4.1.3 "Accessing Pixel Data" (page 38).

You can also use more efficient way - iterators. See chapter 11 
"Iterators" (page 687).

Regards,
Jakub.
