Editor: Convert Image Type Editor (deprecated) ()

Description:

This editor allows you to change the primitive data type of a uniform 3D scalar field (gray level image and label image). The transformation which operates on the input image, does not change dimensions and coordinates, but the data values will be shifted, scaled, and cast to a new data type.

Note that a scalar field cannot be converted into a label field using this editor. For this purpose, the reader should consider using the cast field module.

Press the Apply button to start the computation.

Ports:

Info

Shows how the input data will be mapped during conversion. If no clipping occurs, the input range covers all values between the minimum and maximum data values of the incoming scalar field. This range will be mapped as indicated. If clipping occurs, the minimum or maximum value of the output range or both will be equal respective to the smallest or largest value that can be represented by the selected output data type. In this case, the input range shows which values correspond to these limits. Data values below the lower limit or above the upper limit will be clamped.

Output Datatype

Lets you select the primitive data type of the edited image after conversion.

Scaling

Defines a linear transformation that is applied before the data values are clamped and cast to the output datatype. The transformation is performed as follows:
output = SCALE*(input+OFFSET)
