[Insight-users] Neighborhood max value

[Neal R. Harvey]

I'm thinking you may not want or need to go to the bother of writing
such a function. A neighbohood maximum operator is a dilation with a flat
structuring element and there already exists an operator within ITK to do
dilation. You would just need to define your structuring element appropriately
for the neighborhood in which you are interested. I can't see any existing code
that would create a square (cube for n-D) structuring element, though (there 
is code for balls and crosses), but it might not be that hard to 
create "cube" structuring element code by making some simple modifications
to the ball structuring element code. Then, all you'd need to do was use this
to create your structuring element (i.e. define the neighborhood of interest)
and then use the dilation function that already exists.
