Detailed Description

The module base class to apply kernels to an image.

Fields for border handling and fill value are automatically created. Macros are available for simple usage and implementation of the templated kernel algorithm, see mlKernelMacros.h, KernelModule, KernelTools and KernelExample for more information and examples.

This class also creates a border handling field and a fill value field by default and connects image input 0 with the output image 0.

Also have a look to the more elaborated class KernelModule which implements much convenience functionality. It is typically used to derive from.

In the following paragraphs you find documentation which describes how to implement a kernel operation.

Since the implementation has to be done for all data types the filtering code needs to be implemented as template and a dispatcher is needed which calls the correct templated versions of this method.

The template is typically implemented in a template function called calcRow().

The dispatcher should be implemented by using macros from the file mlKernelMacros.h. For the header file typically CALC_ROW_H() is used and for implementations typically CALC_ROW_CPP(). The default implementation is pure virtual, i.e. the KernelBaseModule cannot be instantiated.

Note that there are also a more elaborated versions of CALC_ROW_H() and CALC_ROW_CPP() which provide more parameters, CALC_ROW_H_EXT() and CALC_ROW_CPP_EXT().

They pass more parameters to the template function which therefore requires the implementation of the template function calcRow() with more parameters.

Some other macros, CALC_ROW_CPP_ANY(CLASS_NAME, KERNEL_SUPER_CLASS, SWITCH_SELECTION), CALC_ROW_CPP_ANY_SUBIMG(CLASS_NAME, KERNEL_SUPER_CLASS, SWITCH_SELECTION), CALC_ROW_CPP_SUBIMG(CLASS_NAME, KERNEL_SUPER_CLASS), and CALC_ROW_CPP_SUBIMG_EXT(CLASS_NAME, KERNEL_SUPER_CLASS) provide additional functionality to compile kernel filter for a subset of data types or with the subimages in which the voxel rows are filtered. They require additional parameters and/or other signatures of the template function calcRow().

Please use only the macros for dispatching this call to the template function of a derived class since calcRow() parameters are subject to change.

A derived class typically would implement a kernel algorithm as follows:

CALC_ROW_H() implements the header code for the dispatcher to call the right template function from. Use CALC_ROW_CPP() in the implementation file to implement the standard stuff there.

outCursor is a pointer to the output image voxel in which needs to be written the result value of the kernel operation.

inCursor is the pointer to the input image voxel covered by the origin of the kernel. Note that the kernel does not necessarily have an entry at that position. Anyway, it represents a pointer to the input image voxel under the kernel element (0,0,0,0,0,0).

// Moves write cursor forward.
++outCursor;
// Moves forward the kernel origin pointer.
++inCursor;

numVox is the number of voxels which needs to be filtered by calcRow(). Loop numVox times to filter the row and move the cursor of the input and the output subimage in that loop

srcVoxelOffset is the offset from the current cursor of the input subimage to get access to that voxel which corresponds to the voxel position written to the output image. So

*outCursor = inCursor[srcVoxOffset]

copies the input image to the output image without shifting. srcVoxelOffst can be considered as an offset to the kernel center. Note that the kernel does NOT necessarily have a valid entry there.

indexTabSize contains the number of elements in the kernel and is identical to getKernel().getTabSize(). The number of elements in getKernel().getCoordTab() and getKernel().getValueTab() are also identical.

indexTab contains a table of offsets from the current cursor of the input subimage (inCursor) to get access to the image voxels covered by kernel elements. So

inCursor[indexTab[3]]

is the input image voxel covered by the third kernel element.

If you use the macros CALC_ROW_H_EXT() and CALC_ROW_CPP_EXT() then you also get the following parameters:

outIndex specifying the index of the output image from which the row shall be processed.

separationPass specifying the index of the processing pass of the buffer if a separable kernel filtering is applied.

The following stuff is needed to be implement as a kernel operation:

In the header file:

template <typename DATATYPE>
void calcRow(MLsoffset *indexTab,
size_t indexTabSize,
MLsoffset srcVoxelOffset,
size_t numVox,
DATATYPE *inCursor,
DATATYPE *outCursor,
const ImageVector &rowStart);
#define CALC_ROW_H()
MLint MLsoffset
Signed ML offset type that is a 32-bit signed integer on 32-bit platforms and a 64-bit integer on 64-...
Definition mlTypeDefs.h:561
TImageVector< MLint > ImageVector
Defines the standard ImageVector type that is used by the ML for indexing and coordinates.

The following code implements a standard correlation of the input image with an arbitrary kernel in the .cpp file:

template <typename DATATYPE>
void ClassName::calcRow(MLsoffset *indexTab,
size_t indexTabSize,
MLsoffset srcVoxelOffset,
size_t numVox,
DATATYPE *inCursor,
DATATYPE *outCursor,
const ImageVector &rowStart)
{
// Get fast pointer to tables of kernel values.
const KernelDataType *valTab = getKernel().getValueTab();
// Scan entire voxel line to be filtered.
for (long i=0; i < numVox; i++){
// Sum up the products of the kernel element values and the input image voxels
// found in the input page covered by the kernel elements. Input image voxels
// are found by offsetting the input image cursor with the indexes from \c indexTab.
// Loop over all kernel elements and the input voxels covered by them.
DATATYPE retVal = 0;
for (size_t c=0; c < indexTabSize; ++c){
retVal += inCursor[indexTab[c]] * valTab[c];
}
// Write result into output subimage.
*outCursor = retVal;
// Move read and write cursor forward.
++outCursor;
++inCursor;
} // for
} // calcRow
const KDATATYPE * getValueTab(size_t dim=0) const
Definition mlKernel.h:656
MLdouble KernelDataType
Define the standard data type for kernel elements to be used in this library.
Definition mlKernel.h:2180

You can also use the KernelTools class to do the same stuff:

template <typename DATATYPE>
void ClassName::calcRow(MLsoffset *indexTab,
size_t indexTabSize,
MLsoffset srcVoxelOffset,
size_t numVox,
DATATYPE *inCursor,
DATATYPE *outCursor,
const ImageVector &/*rowStart*/)
{
(inCursor, outCursor, numVox, getKernel().getValueTab(), indexTab, indexTabSize);
}
static void correlateLine(const IN_DATATYPE *inCursor, OUT_DATATYPE *outCursor, size_t numVox, const K_DATATYPE *valTab, const MLsoffset *indexTab, size_t indexTabSize)

◆ _connectToAllOutputs()

virtual void ml::KernelBaseModule::_connectToAllOutputs ( Field * field)
protectedvirtual

Helper function to connect a field field to all output fields. NULL field pointers are legal and will be ignored.

◆ _getCalculatedReferenceInputExt()

virtual ImageVector ml::KernelBaseModule::_getCalculatedReferenceInputExt ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Return the reference extent of input image dependent on the current value of _referenceExtentFld.

◆ _setCorrectCorrelationMinMax()

virtual void ml::KernelBaseModule::_setCorrectCorrelationMinMax ( bool imageIntervalUsed = false,
MLdouble intervalMin = 0,
MLdouble intervalMax = 0,
MLint inIdx = 0,
MLint outIdx = 0 )
protectedvirtual

This method calculates and sets the possible min/max values for output image outIdx if a correlation or convolution filtering is assumed on input inIdx. Often also an interval is used to limit filtering. The interval [intervalMin, intervalMax] can be used to specify voxel values which includes the voxels values to be filtered or excludes them if intervalMin is smaller than intervalMax, i.e. which remain unchanged by the filtering process. If imageIntervalUsed is passed as true then image interval and normal min/max values from input image are included for the case that voxels are simply copied and not filtered. Also exclusive intervals with intervalMax < intervalMin are considered correctly. If the getFillValueFld() value is outside the incoming min/max values and border handling is KernelTools::PAD_SRC_FILL then it will be included in the calculation of the new min/max values. Note that intervalMin and intervalMax only need to contain correct values if imageIntervalUsed is true; otherwise they're ignored. Only to be called in calculateOutputImageProperties()!

◆ calcInSubImagePreparation()

virtual void ml::KernelBaseModule::calcInSubImagePreparation ( int outIndex,
SubImage * inSubImgs )
protectedvirtual

Does some preprocessing on input subimages if we have more than one. In modes Input0_ExtWithFill and MaxExtentsWithFill in _referenceExtentFld we might have undefined regions in input subimages which we fill with the fill value. Normally it is automatically called by CALC_ROW macros. So "overloading by hand" is typically not recommended.

◆ calcOutSubImagePostProcessing()

virtual void ml::KernelBaseModule::calcOutSubImagePostProcessing ( SubImage * outSubImg,
int outIndex,
SubImage * inSubImgs )
protectedvirtual

Called to postProcess the output image outSubImg with the index outIndex from the input subimage inSubImgs. Currently it does nothing. Normally it is automatically called by CALC_ROW macros. So "overloading by hand" is typically not recommended.

Reimplemented in ml::KernelModule.

◆ calculateAreaToBeCalculated()

virtual SubImageBox ml::KernelBaseModule::calculateAreaToBeCalculated ( const SubImageBox & areaToBeCalculated,
const SubImageBox & outSubImageBox )
protectedvirtual

Function called after the Kernel Framework calculated which box needs to be calculated for the current outImage. This must be overridden in case the input and output images do not have the same dimensions when calculateInputSubImageBox is overridden.

◆ calculateInputSubImageBox()

SubImageBox ml::KernelBaseModule::calculateInputSubImageBox ( int inIndex,
const SubImageBox & outSubImgBox,
int outIndex )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Calculates the region of the input image needed for the calculation of the output image region defined by outSubImg and output index outIndex. The border handling is considered correctly in the calculation of the box of the input subimage.

Reimplemented from ml::Module.

◆ calculateOutInCoordShift()

virtual ImageVector ml::KernelBaseModule::calculateOutInCoordShift ( const ImageVector shift,
const SubImageBox & outSubImageBox )
protectedvirtual

Function called after the Kernel Framework calculated the shift vector between input and output. This must be overridden in case the input and output images do not have the same dimensions when calculateInputSubImageBox is overridden.

◆ calculateOutputImageProperties()

void ml::KernelBaseModule::calculateOutputImageProperties ( int outputIndex,
PagedImage * outputImage )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Computes the output image properties for output outIndex. The world coordinates and the extents of the output image are corrected dependent on the border handling. In the case of multiple input images input image 0 provides the reference image extent. This function also updates min/max values of output images on border handling mode KernelTools::PAD_DST_FILL values. Note that KernelTools::PAD_SRC_FILL has to be handled by derived classes.

Reimplemented from ml::Module.

◆ calculateValidDestArea()

virtual SubImageBox ml::KernelBaseModule::calculateValidDestArea ( const SubImageBox & validDestArea,
const SubImageBox & outSubImageBox )
protectedvirtual

Function called after the Kernel Framework calculated the valid area in the global destination image. This must be overridden in case the input and output images do not have the same dimensions when calculateInputSubImageBox is overridden.

◆ getBorderHandlingFld()

EnumField * ml::KernelBaseModule::getBorderHandlingFld ( ) const
inline

The field to handle the mode how kernel operations work on image borders. See BorderHandling documentation in mlKernelTools.h. Default value of the field is NO_PAD.
