How to use NumericTraits in itk python binding

Beginner Questions

I’m using itk.GetImageViewFromArray(image) to view an np image as itk image.
How to get the type of pixel, and get information about it using NumericTraits ?

In C++ I was using for example itk::NumericTraits<PixelType>::max(), but with python I don’t see how to do it…
Thanks!

Hi Yann,

For the itk.Image, the Python type built-in function can be used to inspect the type.

print(type(image))

For numpy.array, inspect the dtype attribute:

print(array.dtype)

To get the template parameters for an itk object, use, itk.template, e.g.:

>>> itk.template(image)
(<itkTemplate itk::Image>, (itkRGBPixelPython.itkRGBPixelUC, 2))

The pixel type can be re-used with the wrapped NumericTraits class:

print(itk.NumericTraits[itk.template(image)[1][0]].max())

HTH,
Matt
