Detailed Description

template<size_t N>
class imaging::DiscretizableShapeInterface< N >

Abstract class interface for discretizable shapes of dimension N.

This class interface defines shapes of dimension N, which can be discretized. I.e. they provide the factory function boundary_discretizer(), which returns a boundary discretizer of dimension N for the given shape. A template function which integrates an image with floating point values along the boundary of an N-dimensional shape could generically be implemented as follows:

  template <size_t N>
  float_t boundary_area(const DiscretizableShapeInterface<N> & shape, const Image<N + 1, float_t> & image)
  {
    // sample 100 boundary points
    std::auto_ptr< BoundaryDiscretizer<N> > boundary_discretizer = shape.boundary_discretizer(100);
    
    return boundary_discretizer->integrate(image);
  }

template<size_t N>

const size_t imaging::DiscretizableShapeInterface< N >::SHAPE_DIMENSION = N [static]

The spatial dimension of the shape class. N is 2 for planar shapes and 3 for volumes.

Reimplemented in imaging::BsplineShape, and imaging::Circle.
