Maximum Intensity Projection

File Information

Description

The rule set presented writes the brightest pixel of all slices in a stack into an additional image layer.

Motivation: Writing the brightest pixel of all slices in a stack into an additional image layer.
Approach: Objects corresponding to the slices in the stack are generated. For the centric object, a temporary layer is created containing maximum intensity values over Z by sliding window filtering using a kernel size corresponding to the stack height. In a second sliding window filtering step, the values are transferred to all slices.

Thanks Johannes.

It's great, with my 5z-layers images, composed of 4 layers each, it takes 3 seconds to process. Much faster than the way i did it with 1pixel chessboard, and temporay layers using the max of each pixel as object feature.
Thanks a lot Johannes

Hi Johannes,

Because of an in-house request I already had been thinking about implementing this myself. (Un-)fortunately, I didn't find the right approach yet ...
Thanks for helping me out!
