This is mainly * because one mode (e.g the background) is over-represented in the * histogram. The basic idea of Kappa-Sigma-Clipping is to find the properties * of the over-represented mode and re-compute a threshold with only the pre-thresholded * pixels (thus rejecting significantly different pixels iteratively). This * algorithm does not converge to a specific value, hence a number of iterations * must be provided. * * On each iteration, the new threshold [t_(i+1)] is computed as follows (using only * pixels thresholded with [t_i]): * * t_(i+1) = Mean_(i+1) + Kappa * Sigma_(i+1) * * \author Gaetan Lehmann * \note This class was taken from the Insight Journal paper: * https://hdl.handle.net/1926/367 * * \ingroup Operators * \ingroup ITKThresholding */ template< typename TInputImage, typename TMaskImage > class ITK_TEMPLATE_EXPORT KappaSigmaThresholdImageCalculator:public Object { public: /** Standard class typedefs. */ typedef KappaSigmaThresholdImageCalculator Self; typedef Object Superclass; typedef SmartPointer< Self > Pointer; typedef SmartPointer< const Self > ConstPointer; /** Method for creation through the object factory. */ itkNewMacro(Self); /** Run-time type information (and related methods). */ itkTypeMacro(KappaSigmaThresholdImageCalculator, Object); /** Extract the dimension of the image. */ itkStaticConstMacro(ImageDimension, unsigned int, TInputImage::ImageDimension); /** Standard image type within this class. */ typedef TInputImage InputImageType; typedef TMaskImage MaskImageType; /** Standard image type pointer within this class. */ typedef typename InputImageType::Pointer InputImagePointer; typedef typename InputImageType::ConstPointer InputImageConstPointer; typedef typename MaskImageType::Pointer MaskImagePointer; typedef typename MaskImageType::ConstPointer MaskImageConstPointer; typedef typename InputImageType::PixelType InputPixelType; typedef typename MaskImageType::PixelType MaskPixelType; /** Set the input image. */ itkSetConstObjectMacro(Image, InputImageType); /** Set an optional input mask to only consider in the computation pixels with * a specific mask value (MaskValue).
