ND morphological contour interpolation
Published in The Insight Journal

Zukić D., Vicory J., McCormick M., Wisse L., Gerig G., Yushkevich P., Aylward S.

This document describes a new class, itk::MorphologicalContourInterpolator, which implements a method proposed by Albu et al. in 2008. Interpolation is done by first determining correspondence between shapes on adjacent segmented slices by detecting overlaps, [...]

RLEImage: run-length encoded memory compression scheme for an itk::Image
Published in The Insight Journal

Zukić D., McCormick M., Gerig G., Yushkevich P.

This document describes a new class, itk::RLEImage, which uses run-length encoding to reduce the memory needed for storage of label maps. This class is accompanied by all the iterators to make it a dropin replacement for itk::Image. By changing the image [...]
