image =	dilateLocalMaxima3dImg (inImg3d,inDilateFactor)
image =	dilateLocalMinima3dImg (inImg3d,inDilateFactor)

Detailed Description

algorithm allowing to extract dilated local extrema 3d from an image

This algorithm allows, given an input image InImg3d, a dilation factor InDilateFactor and a searched extrema type defined by InLocalExtremumType parameter, to compute a binary ouput image OutBinImg where all set pixels are part of a dilated local extrema.

Note

This algorithm is an extension of Local Extrema 3d algorithm allowing to dilate (and in some case merge) local extrema. Using this algorithm with a value of InDilateFactor set to 0 is equivalent of using Local Extrema 3d algorithm.

Dilation factor InDilateFactor is a grey scale factor (not a geometric factor) since local extrema are dilated with a distance based on grey scale difference.

Output image is computed has follow (local maxima case) :

where pixel with index is :

• connected to pixel with index in output image
• greater than or equal to all other values (local maxima) in the connected component associated to the pixel with index .

This is illustrated in case of a 1d signal :

Examples of dilated local maxima extraction are illustrated in 2d case : see Dilate Local Extrema 2d.

Example of Python code :

Example imports

import PyIPSDK
import PyIPSDK.IPSDKIPLAdvancedMorphology as advmorpho

Code Example

    # opening of input image
    inImg = PyIPSDK.loadTiffImageFile(inputImgPath)
    
    # dilate local maxima 3d computation
    outImg = advmorpho.dilateLocalMaxima3dImg(inImg, 5)

Header file

#include <IPSDKIPL/IPSDKIPLAdvancedMorphology/Processor/DilateLocalExtrema3dImg/DilateLocalExtrema3dImg.h>

Code Example

    // opening of input image
    ImagePtr pInImg = loadTiffImageFile(inputImgPath);
    
    // mark local maxima in input image
    ImagePtr pOutMaxImg = dilateLocalMaxima3dImg(pInImg, 5);

    // mark local minima in input image
    ImagePtr pOutMinImg = dilateLocalMinima3dImg(pInImg, 5);
