Detailed Description

template<class TPixel, unsigned int VDimension = 2, class TAllocator = NeighborhoodAllocator< TPixel >>
class itk::DerivativeOperator< TPixel, VDimension, TAllocator >

A NeighborhoodOperator for taking an n-th order derivative at a pixel.

DerivativeOperator's coefficients are a tightest-fitting convolution kernel for calculating the n-th order directional derivative at a pixel. DerivativeOperator is a directional NeighborhoodOperator that should be applied to a Neighborhood or NeighborhoodPointer using the inner product method.

An example operator to compute X derivatives of a 2D image can be created with:

typedef itk::DerivativeOperator<float, 2> DerivativeOperatorType;
DerivativeOperatorType derivativeOperator;
derivativeOperator.SetDirection(0); // X dimension
itk::Size<2> radius;
radius.Fill(1); // A radius of 1 in both dimensions is a 3x3 operator
derivativeOperator.CreateToRadius(radius);

and creates a kernel that looks like:

      0 0
5  0   -0.5
  0   0
