Module Description

Module performs pixel-wise addition of two images. The module automatically handles different resolution of the input images. The module supports input images of any data type.

Usage

Load the input volumes(images). The default setting of the parameter Interpolation Setting is 1. For input images of the same size, this setting will work correctly. In general, its best to use input images of the same size for the addition operation.

Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials

This module can be used for producing intermediate results that can then be as inputs to other modules.

Quick Tour of Features and Use

• "Inputs/Outputs:" This module requires two input volumes(images), and the specification of an output volume(image). The module produces an output image of the same size as the first input image.
• "Parameters:" The module uses one parameter Interpolation Order. The interpolation order sets the degree of B-spline interpolation to be performed on the second input image for re-sampling it to the same size as the first input image. The default setting is 1.

Development

Dependencies

This module uses the ITK libraries.
