Classes demonstrated#

template<typename TImage, typename TOutputPixelType>
class NthElementImageAdaptor : public itk::ImageAdaptor<TImage, PixelAccessor>

Presents an image as being composed of the N-th element of its pixels.

It assumes that the pixels are of container type and have in their API an operator[]( unsigned int ) defined.

Additional casting is performed according to the input and output image types following C++ default casting rules.
