dip::Framework::ScanLineFilter class

Prototype line filter for dip::Framework::Scan.

An object of a class derived from ScanLineFilter must be passed to the scan framework. The derived class can be a template class, such that the line filter is overloaded for each possible pixel data type.

A derived class can have data members that hold parameters to the line filter, that hold output values, or that hold intermediate buffers. The SetNumberOfThreads method is called once before any processing starts. This is a good place to allocate space for output values, such that each threads has its own output variables that the calling function can later combine (reduce). Note that this function is called even if dip::Framework::ScanOption::NoMultiThreading is given, or if the library is compiled without multi-threading.

The GetNumberOfOperations method is called to determine if it is worthwhile to start worker threads and perform the computation in parallel. This function should not perform any other tasks, as it is not guaranteed to be called. It is not important that the function be very precise, see Multithreading.

Derived classes

template<dip::uint N, typename TPI, typename F>
class dip::Framework::VariadicScanLineFilter
An implementation of the ScanLinefilter for N input images and 1 output image.

Constructors, destructors, assignment and conversion operators

~ScanLineFilter() defaulted virtual
A virtual destructor guarantees that we can destroy a derived class by a pointer to base

Functions

void Filter(dip::Framework::ScanLineFilterParameters const& params) pure virtual
The derived class must must define this method, this is the actual line filter.
void SetNumberOfThreads(dip::uint threads) virtual
The derived class can define this function for setting up the processing.
auto GetNumberOfOperations(dip::uint nInput, dip::uint nOutput, dip::uint nTensorElements) -> dip::uint virtual
The derived class can define this function for helping to determine whether to compute in parallel or not. It must return the number of clock cycles per input pixel. The default is valid for an arithmetic-like operation.
