Label Map Smoothing

Overview

This filter smoothes a binary label map. With a label map as input, this filter runs an anti-alising algorithm followed by a Gaussian smoothing algorithm. The output is a smoothed label map.

Panels and their use

Label Selection Parameters: Parameters for selecting the label to smooth

  • Label to smooth (labelToSmooth): The label to smooth. All others will be ignored. If no label is selected by the user, the maximum label in the image is chosen by default.

AntiAliasing Parameters: Parameters for the AntiAliasing algorithm

  • Number of Iterations (numberOfIterations): The number of iterations of the level set AntiAliasing algorithm

  • Maximum RMS Error (maxRMSError): The maximum RMS error.

Gaussian Smoothing Parameters: Parameters for Gaussian Smoothing

  • Sigma (gaussianSigma): The standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel

IO: Input/output parameters

  • Input Volume (inputVolume): Input label map to smooth

  • Output Volume (outputVolume): Smoothed label map
