Detailed Description

The typically used convenience class to apply a kernel to an image.

Many convenience methods are available to configure the module with certain fields combinations so that derived modules don't need to implement most inputs for kernel extents, fill value, kernel input and output connectors, image and kernel intervals etc.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ KernelModule()

ml::KernelModule::KernelModule	(	int	inputNum = `1`,
		int	outputNum = `1`
	)

Constructor.

Initializes the fields, the members and the field connections with the field container. Default configuration is with one input and one output if no arguments are passed.

Member Function Documentation

◆ _composeKernelInfo()

virtual std::string ml::KernelModule::_composeKernelInfo ( bool valid = true ) const

protectedvirtual

Create a string containing all important kernel information.

If false is passed then an invalid message is added.

◆ _createExternalKernelFields()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createExternalKernelFields	(	bool	createUseToggle = `false`,
		bool	defaultVal = `false`
	)

protectedvirtual

Creates a kernel input field and an information field.

The information field contains a message showing whether the kernel in the input is valid or not. If _createUseToggle is true then the field _useExternalKernelFld is created and initialized to defaultVal (false if not passed differently). The default value of the kernel input is an empty string, i.e. an undefined kernel. The information string field is set to "Invalid" The _useExternalKernelFld and _externalKernelFld are attached to field of output 0 so that changes will notify the output image immediately. handleNotification is not called on creation or initialization process. To be called only once in the constructor, more calls will generate warnings.

◆ _createImageIntervalFields()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createImageIntervalFields	(	MLdouble	min = `0`,
		MLdouble	max = `1024`,
		bool	createToggle = `false`,
		bool	useIt = `false`
	)

protectedvirtual

Creates two limit fields to specify an interval and - if createToggle is passed as true - a toggle to enable/disable interval usage.

The default values are 0 for the minimum and 1024 for the maximum field if not specified differently. The used field names will be "intervalMinOfFilteredVoxels", "intervalMaxOfFilteredVoxels" and "useIntervalOfFilteredVoxels", the member names _imageIntervalMin, _imageIntervalMax and _useImageInterval. The fields are attached to the field of output 0 so that changes will notify the output image immediately. This interval is usually used to select those voxels which are filtered voxel values not in the interval are bypassed unchanged. handleNotification is not called on creation or initialization process. To be called only once in the constructor, more calls will generate warnings.

◆ _createKernelElementsSumField()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createKernelElementsSumField ( )

protectedvirtual

Creates an information field which will contain the sum of all kernel elements.

The created field is only intended as a read-only field users. The field name will be "kernelElementsSum" and the field default results from the created default kernel. This field is especially useful to connect from when sum of kernel elements is needed elsewhere. handleNotification is not called on creation or initialization process.

◆ _createKernelExtentFields()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createKernelExtentFields	(	int	numDim = `6`,
		const ImageVector &	defaultExt = `ImageVector(3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1)`
	)

protectedvirtual

Creates the fields _kernelXFld, ...

_kernelUFld and initializes them with the values 3,3,1,1,1,1 if not passed differently to defaultExt. If numDim is passed as a value < 6 then only numDim fields are created, e.g. _kernelXFld and _kernelYFld are created if numDim is 2. The field names will be "kernelX", ... , "kernelU", respectively. The fields are attached to the field of output 0 so that changes will notify the output image immediately. handleNotification is not called on creation or initialization process. To be called only once in the constructor, more calls will generate warnings.

◆ _createKernelInfoField()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createKernelInfoField ( )

protectedvirtual

Creates an information field about the current kernel and its creation process.

The default value is "Invalid". handleNotification is not called on creation or initialization process. To be called only once in the constructor, more calls will generate warnings.

◆ _createKernelIntervalFields()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createKernelIntervalFields	(	MLdouble	min = `0`,
		MLdouble	max = `1024`,
		bool	createToggle = `false`,
		bool	useIt = `false`
	)

protectedvirtual

Creates two limit fields to specify an interval and - if createToggle is passed as true - a toggle to enable/disable interval usage.

The default values are 0 for the minimum and 1024 for the maximum field if not specified differently. The used field names will be "intervalMinOfVoxelsForFiltering", "kernelIintervalMaxOfVoxelsForFiltering" and "useIntervalOfVoxelsForFiltering", the member names _kernelIntervalMinFld, _kernelIntervalMaxFld and _useKernelIntervalFld. The fields are attached to the field of output 0 so that changes will notify the output image immediately. These fields are used to specify a selection interval for the values of voxels under kernel elements to be used in a kernel operation. handleNotification is not called on creation or initialization process. To be called only once in the constructor, more calls will generate warnings.

◆ _createKernelOutputField()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createKernelOutputField ( )

protectedvirtual

Creates a kernel output field.

It will be set to the current kernel if _updateKernelOutputField() is called. The default value of the kernel input is an empty string, i.e. an undefined kernel. handleNotification is not called on creation or initialization process. To be called only once in the constructor, more calls will generate warnings.

◆ _createMakeSphericalField()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createMakeSphericalField ( bool defaultVal = false )

protectedvirtual

Creates a bool field which enables/disables the usage of a connected kernel.

Default value will be false(=off) if not passed differently as defaultVal. See also _makeSphericalFld. The field name will be "makeSpherical". The field is attached to the field of output 0 so that changes will notify the output image immediately. handleNotification is not called on creation or initialization process. To be called only once in the constructor, more calls will generate warnings.

◆ _createMinMaxCalcFields()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createMinMaxCalcFields	(	bool	defaultValue = `false`,
		bool	createSetOutputMinMax = `false`
	)

protectedvirtual

Creates a toggle field which enables the scan of calculated output pages for min/max values if enabled.

This is useful since many kernel operations have unpredictable results - so the minimum and maximum values of the output image is difficult to foresee. The protected members _autoMin autoMax are updated and _autoMinMaxValid indicates whether these members are valid. The field name will be "autoCalcMinMax". The default value is false=off if not specified differently as defaultVal.

In combination with the fields _outputMinFld and _outputMaxFld it might be useful to have an assignment button to transfer _autoMin and _autoMax to them. Pass _createSetOutputMinMax as true. Then such a button is created with the name "setOutputMinMax". See also _createOutputMinMaxFields. The toggle field is attached to the field of output 0 so that changes will notify the output image immediately. The button will not be attached to the output image since the _outputMinFld and _outputMaxFld usually will be. To be called only once in the constructor, more calls will generate warnings.

◆ _createMinMaxFields()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createMinMaxFields	(	MLdouble	minVal = `0`,
		MLdouble	maxVal = `0`,
		bool	defaultValue = `false`
	)

protectedvirtual

Creates a minimum and a maximum field containing minimum/maximum values for the output image.

This is useful since many kernel operations have unpredictable results - so the minimum and maximum values of the output image is difficult to foresee. The field names will be "outputMin" and "outputMax". The default values are 0 and 0 if not specified differently. See also _outputMinFld and _outputMaxFld. Also an enable/disable button is created which enables/disables the usage of those min/max fields. It field name will be "useMinMax". Its default value is false if not specified differently by defaultValue. All fields are attached to the field of output 0 so that changes will notify the output image immediately. To be called only once in the constructor, more calls will generate warnings.

◆ _createNormalizeField()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createNormalizeField ( bool defaultVal = false )

protectedvirtual

Creates a bool field which enables/disables the automatic normalization of the kernel after each change.

Default value will be false(=off) if not passed differently as defaultVal. The field name will be "autoNormalize". See also _normalizeFld. handleNotification is not called on creation or initialization process. The field is attached to the field of output 0 so that changes will notify the output image immediately. To be called only once in the constructor, more calls will generate warnings.

◆ _createNumKernelElementsField()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_createNumKernelElementsField ( )

protectedvirtual

Creates an information field which will contain the number of kernel elements.

The created field is only intended as a read-only field users. The field name will be "numKernelElements" and the field default results from the created default kernel. This field is especially useful to connect from when the number of kernel elements is needed elsewhere. handleNotification is not called on creation or initialization process.

◆ _isInImageInterval()

bool ml::KernelModule::_isInImageInterval ( MLdouble v ) const

protected

Test whether the value v is within image interval.

Note that the interval is considered exclusively if maximum is smaller than minimum, i.e. all values between maximum and minimum are excluded and all others are included. Intervals where minVal == maxVal are considered as a normal interval.

◆ _isInKernelInterval()

bool ml::KernelModule::_isInKernelInterval ( MLdouble v ) const

protected

Test whether the value v is within kernel interval.

Note that the interval is considered exclusively if maximum is smaller than minimum, i.e. all values between maximum and minimum are excluded and all others are included. Intervals where minVal == maxVal are considered as a normal interval.

◆ _setImageInterval()

void ml::KernelModule::_setImageInterval	(	MLdouble	minVal = `-DBL_MAX`,
		MLdouble	maxVal = `DBL_MAX`
	)

protected

Update private test members for fast image interval testings.

Filtering can be applied to a subset of voxels by setting a threshold interval which includes the convoluted voxels. If used then only voxels >= min and <=max are modified by filtering. Default is (-DBL_MAX, DBL_MAX).

◆ _setKernelInterval()

void ml::KernelModule::_setKernelInterval	(	MLdouble	minVal = `-DBL_MAX`,
		MLdouble	maxVal = `DBL_MAX`
	)

protected

Update private test members for fast kernel testings.

When filtering an image then voxels covered by kernel elements outside a certain grey level interval can be excluded. If used then only voxels >= min and <=max are multiplied with kernel values. Otherwise these products are not added to the resulting output image voxel. Default is (-DBL_MAX, DBL_MAX).

◆ _updateKernel() [1/2]

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_updateKernel ( )

inlineprotectedvirtual

Convenience routine to call the typically used _updateKernel() functionality, e.g.

at the end of constructors or in handleNotification(). Normally it is not intended to be overloaded.

Reimplemented in ml::LoGFilter.

Definition at line 437 of file mlKernelModule.h.

References _updateKernel().

Referenced by _updateKernel().

◆ _updateKernel() [2/2]

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_updateKernel ( bool permitExtentChanges )

protectedvirtual

This is the method to update the kernel, it should be called if the kernel requires an update, e.g.

in handleNotification and dependent field updates shall take place. Normally it is not intended to be overloaded. The following operations are performed:

_userKernelPreUpdate() is called. So derived modules can apply kernel changes. This method is called by _updateKernel() to supply a method where the application can change the kernel BEFORE the kernel input is checked or kernel extents are set. See _updateKernel(permitExtentChanges) for more Infos.
Existing fields are evaluated:
- If a kernel input is defined and enabled and permitExtentChanges is true then the kernel is set to the input state. If an invalid kernel is connected a 1x1x1x1x1x1 kernel is set. A not created _useExternalKernelFld is always considered as an enabled kernel input. On no kernel input or if it's disabled the current kernel is not modified.
- If no kernel input is defined or if it's disabled and permitExtentChanges is true then a kernel is created from the specified kernel extents. If kernel extent fields are not defined then the kernel is left unchanged.
- If the _makeSphericalFld is defined and enabled the kernel is made spherical. Otherwise the kernel is left unchanged.
- If the _normalizeFld is defined and enabled the kernel is normalized. Otherwise the kernel is left unchanged.
The method _userKernelPostUpdate() is called. This method is called by _updateKernel() to supply a method where the application can change the kernel AFTER all automatic changes and BEFORE the output kernel fields, the _kernelInfoFld, the _numKernelElementsFld and the _kernelElementSumFld are updated.
The output and information fields are updated:
- The kernel output is updated if it exists.
- If the _kernelElementsSumFld is defined then it's updated. Otherwise it's left unchanged.
- If the _numKernelElementsFld is defined then it's updated. Otherwise it's left unchanged.

◆ _updateKernelOutputField()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_updateKernelOutputField ( )

protectedvirtual

Updates the kernel output to the value of the kernel if the _kernelOutputFld is defined.

◆ _userKernelPostUpdate()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_userKernelPostUpdate ( )

inlineprotectedvirtual

Typical method to be overloaded by derived modules to apply kernel changes.

This method is called by _updateKernel(permitExtentChanges) to supply a method where the application can change the kernel AFTER all automatic changes and BEFORE the output kernel fields, the _kernelInfoFld, the _numKernelElementsFld and the _kernelElementSumFld are updated. See _updateKernel(permitExtentChanges) for more Infos.

Reimplemented in ml::SurroundFilter, ml::MorphologyFilter, ml::ExtConvolutionFilter, ml::ConvolutionFilter, and ml::CloseGapFilter.

Definition at line 258 of file mlKernelModule.h.

◆ _userKernelPreUpdate()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_userKernelPreUpdate ( )

inlineprotectedvirtual

Typical method to be overloaded by derived modules to apply kernel changes.

This method is called by _updateKernel(permitExtentChanges) to supply a method where the application can change the kernel BEFORE the kernel input is checked or kernel extents are set. See updateKernel(permitExtentChanges) for more Infos.

Definition at line 248 of file mlKernelModule.h.

◆ _validateKernelExtents()

virtual void ml::KernelModule::_validateKernelExtents ( )

protectedvirtual

◆ activateAttachments()

void ml::KernelModule::activateAttachments ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Called when field loading or module cloning has finished.

It's necessary to update the kernel then to the current state of the fields.

Reimplemented from ml::FieldContainer.

Reimplemented in ml::SigmaFilter, and ml::RankFilter.

◆ calcOutSubImagePostProcessing()

void ml::KernelModule::calcOutSubImagePostProcessing	(	SubImage *	outSubImg,
		int	outIndex,
		SubImage *	inSubImgs
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

Called to postProcess the output image outSubImg with the index outIndex from the input subimage inImg.

It adds calculating of min/max values after filtering. Note that this method should be called in derived classes after page calculation which, however, is usually done automatically by the usage of CALC_ROW macros which filter all rows of a page by calling calcRow. For more information see KernelExample and mlKernelMacros.h. So "overloading by hand" is typically not recommended.

Reimplemented from ml::KernelBaseModule.

◆ calculateOutputImageProperties()

void ml::KernelModule::calculateOutputImageProperties	(	int	outputIndex,
		PagedImage *	outputImage
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

Computes the output image properties for output outIndex.

This includes adapted min/max values, data type adjustments etc. The world coordinates and the extents of the output image are corrected dependent on the border handling (already done in KernelBaseModule). At last always the data type is checked (and eventually corrected) whether it can manage the currently set minimum and maximum voxel values.

Reimplemented from ml::KernelBaseModule.

Reimplemented in ml::ZeroCrossingsFilter, ml::SurroundFilter, ml::StdDeviationFilter, ml::Sobel3DFilter, ml::SigmaFilter, ml::RobertsFilter, ml::RankFilter, ml::MorphologyFilter, ml::LoGFilter, and ml::LocalMaximaFilter.
