N successive applications * oriented along each dimensional direction will effect separable, * efficient, N-D Gaussian blurring of an image region. * * GaussianOperator takes two parameters: * * (1) The floating-point variance of the desired Gaussian function. * * (2) The "maximum error" allowed in the discrete Gaussian * function. "Maximum error" is defined as the difference between the area * under the discrete Gaussian curve and the area under the continuous * Gaussian. Maximum error affects the Gaussian operator size. Care should * be taken not to make this value too small relative to the variance * lest the operator size become unreasonably large. * * References: * The Gaussian kernel contained in this operator was described * by Tony Lindeberg (Discrete Scale-Space Theory and the Scale-Space * Primal Sketch. Dissertation. Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, * Sweden. May 1991.). * * \note GaussianOperator does not have any user-declared "special member function", * following the C++ Rule of Zero: the compiler will generate them if necessary. * * \sa NeighborhoodOperator * \sa NeighborhoodIterator * \sa Neighborhood * * \ingroup Operators * \ingroup ITKCommon * * \sphinx * \sphinxexample{Core/Common/CreateGaussianKernel,Create Gaussian Kernel} * \endsphinx */ template > class ITK_TEMPLATE_EXPORT GaussianOperator : public NeighborhoodOperator { public: /** Standard class type aliases. */ using Self = GaussianOperator; using Superclass = NeighborhoodOperator; /** \see LightObject::GetNameOfClass() */ itkOverrideGetNameOfClassMacro(GaussianOperator); /** Sets the desired variance of the Gaussian kernel. */ void SetVariance(const double variance) { m_Variance = variance; } /** Sets the desired maximum error of the gaussian approximation.
