Purpose

The module StandardDeviation calculates the standard deviation or the variance of the neighborhood (defined by a kernel) of the input voxels.

Optionally a threshold interval can be used to select a subset of voxels of the input image to which the filtering is applied. Another threshold interval can be used to limit the set of voxels used in each filtering.

By using these intervals filtering can be applied selectively to regions in the image and the influence of certain objects to the filtering itself can be avoided by excluding the corresponding voxels from the kernel.

Border Handling

name: borderHandling, type: Enum, default: PadSrcClamp, deprecated name: edgeMode

Defines the border handling mode.

See Border Handling in Kernel Operations for details.

Pad Src Clamp PadSrcClamp

Fill Value

name: fillValue, type: Double, default: 0

Sets the fill value for certain Border Handling modes.

Calculate variance instead of deviation

name: calculateVariance, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the module calculates the variance instead of the standard deviation.

X

name: kernelX, type: Integer, default: 3, minimum: 1, maximum: 999

Sets the x-extent of the kernel.

Y

name: kernelY, type: Integer, default: 3, minimum: 1, maximum: 999

Sets the y-extent of the kernel.

Z

name: kernelZ, type: Integer, default: 1, minimum: 1, maximum: 999

Sets the z-extent of the kernel.

C

name: kernelC, type: Integer, default: 1, minimum: 1, maximum: 999

Sets the c-extent of the kernel.

T

name: kernelT, type: Integer, default: 1, minimum: 1, maximum: 999

Sets the t-extent of the kernel.

U

name: kernelU, type: Integer, default: 1, minimum: 1, maximum: 999

Sets the u-extent of the kernel.

Min (intervalMinOfFilteredVoxels)

name: intervalMinOfFilteredVoxels, type: Double, default: 0, deprecated name: ImageIntervalMin

Sets the minimum value threshold for outputting a subset of voxel.

Max (intervalMaxOfFilteredVoxels)

name: intervalMaxOfFilteredVoxels, type: Double, default: 1024, deprecated name: ImageIntervalMax

Sets the maximum value threshold for outputting a subset of voxel.

Use (useIntervalOfFilteredVoxels)

name: useIntervalOfFilteredVoxels, type: Bool, default: FALSE, deprecated name: UseImageInterval

If checked, the module outputs only on a subset of voxels defined by a value range.

Min (intervalMinOfVoxelsForFiltering)

name: intervalMinOfVoxelsForFiltering, type: Double, default: 0, deprecated name: KernelIntervalMin

Sets the minimum value threshold for operating on a subset of voxel.

Max (intervalMaxOfVoxelsForFiltering)

name: intervalMaxOfVoxelsForFiltering, type: Double, default: 1024, deprecated name: KernelIntervalMax

Sets the maximum value threshold for operating on a subset of voxel.

Use (useIntervalOfVoxelsForFiltering)

name: useIntervalOfVoxelsForFiltering, type: Bool, default: FALSE, deprecated name: UseKernelInterval

If checked, the module operates only on a subset of voxels defined by a value range.

Make kernel spherical

name: makeSpherical, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the used kernel is a spherical kernel, not a rectangular one.

External Kernel

name: externalKernel, type: String, deprecated name: kernelInput

Sets an external kernel as a string.

Use the module KernelEditor for editing the kernel or set the kernel by scripting.

Use (useExternalKernel)

name: useExternalKernel, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the optionally attached External Kernel is used.

Info

name: kernelInfo, type: String, persistent: no

Shows information about the used kernel.
