Method Detail

isValid

public abstract boolean isValid(VJVoxelLoc vl,
                                Volume v)

Does vl fall within the bounds of volume for a specific interpolation kernel?

Parameters:

vl - a VJVoxelLoc for which you want to know whether it falls inside the bounds, taking account of support.

v - the volume to be interpolated.

Returns:

boolean whether or not vl falls within the bounds.

isValidGradient

public abstract boolean isValidGradient(VJVoxelLoc vl,
                                        Volume v)

Does vl fall within the bounds of volume for nearest neighbor gradient interpolation?

Parameters:

vl - a VJVoxelLoc for which you want to know whether it falls inside the bounds, taking account of support for the gradient kernel.

v - the volume to be interpolated.

Returns:

boolean whether or not vl falls within the bounds.

isValidGradient

public abstract boolean isValidGradient(VJCell c,
                                        Volume v)

Does cell c fall within the bounds of a volume for nearest neighbor gradient interpolation?

Parameters:

c - a VJCell for which you want to know whether it falls inside the bounds, taking account of support for the gradient kernel.

v - the volume to be interpolated.

boolean - whether or not c falls within the bounds.

value

public abstract VJValue value(VJValue voxel,
                              Volume v,
                              VJVoxelLoc vl)

Interpolate the value of v at location vl. voxel must be instantiated as a (sub)class of VJValue.

Parameters:

voxel - a VJValue which will contain the interpolated voxel value on exit.

v - a volume

vl - a location in the volume.

Returns:

voxel, which contains the value in v at vl.

gradient

public abstract VJGradient gradient(Volume v,
                                    VJVoxelLoc vl)

Interpolate the gradient of v at location vl.

Parameters:

v - a volume

vl - a location in the volume.

Returns:

a VJGradient which contains the gradient in v at vl.

toString

public abstract java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

valueHS

public VJValueHSB valueHS(VJValueHSB hsb,
                          VolumeRGB v,
                          float threshold,
                          VJVoxelLoc vl)

This method should not be here, but where: it is a special HSB vector interpolation for RGB volumes. It is not really interpolation type dependent, but it is a type of interpolation. Get the HSB voxel value (hue and saturation) with a brightness closest to threshold near vl.

Parameters:

hsb - a VJValueHSB to which will be added the hue and saturation.

v - the volume in which to interpolate.

threshold - the desired surface brightness value.

vl - the location around which to look for the surface voxel.
