Source code & documentation

Source Code: VotingBinaryholeFillingImageFilter.cxx

XML Description: VotingBinaryholeFillingImageFilter.xml

Usage:

./VotingBinaryHoleFillingImageFilter  [--processinformationaddress
                                     <std::string>] [--xml] [--echo]
                                     [--foreground <int>] [--background
                                     <int>] [--majorityThreshold <int>]
                                     [--radius <std::vector<int>>] [--]
                                     [--version] [-h] <std::string>
                                     <std::string>


Where: 

--processinformationaddress <std::string>
  Address of a structure to store process information (progress, abort,
  etc.). (default: 0)

--xml
  Produce xml description of command line arguments (default: 0)

--echo
  Echo the command line arguments (default: 0)

--foreground <int>
  The value associated with the foreground (object) (default: 255)

--background <int>
  The value associated with the background (not object) (default: 0)

--majorityThreshold <int>
  The number of pixels over 50% that will decide whether an OFF pixel
  will become ON or not. For example, if the neighborhood of a pixel has
  124 pixels (excluding itself), the 50% will be 62, and if you set upd
  a Majority threshold of 5, that means that the filter will require 67
  or more neighbor pixels to be ON in order to switch the current OFF
  pixel to ON. (default: 1)

--radius <std::vector<int>>
  The radius of a hole to be filled (default: 1,1,1)

--,  --ignore_rest
  Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag.

--version
  Displays version information and exits.

-h,  --help
  Displays usage information and exits.

<std::string>
  (required)  Input volume to be filtered

<std::string>
  (required)  Output filtered


Description: Applies a voting operationin order to fill-in cavities.
This can be used for smoothing contours and for filling holes in binary
images.
