Purpose¶

The module TypeToScalars unpacks an input voxel (of any scalar or non scalar data type) to a scalar image.

This is done component-wise into a given output dimension, that means each component of each voxel of the input image becomes a voxel of the output image. Hence the extent of the output dimension of the output image is n-times larger than the corresponding input dimension whereby n is the number of components of the input voxel.

All components of input voxels are cast to the type given by Output Type, default is Automatic.

Tips¶

Decomposing a three component vector voxel to the C-dimension directly converts a vector image to a color image.

Note:

While decomposing the input image voxels the components are implicitly cast to double; this might lead to a precision loss on long double values on some platforms or to rounding problems on integer typed values.

Input Fields¶

input0¶

name: input0, type: Image¶: The input image of scalar or non scalar voxels.

Output Fields¶

output0¶

name: output0, type: Image¶: The output image has the extent of the input image except of the dimension given by Output Dimension which is n-times larger than the corresponding input dimension. n is the number of components of the input voxel.
