The HotspotMaskGenerator class is used when a hotspot has to be found in an image. A hotspot is the region of the image where the mean intensity is maximal (=brightest spot). It is usually used in PET scans. The identification of the hotspot is done as follows: First a cubic (or circular, if image is 2d) mask of predefined size is generated. This mask is then convolved with the input image (in fourier domain). The maximum value of the convolved image then corresponds to the hotspot. If a maskGenerator is set, only the pixels of the convolved image where the corresponding mask is == label are searched for the maximum value. More...
