Hi Simon,

I asked because of the description of the itk::VectorImage 
(https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1VectorImage.html):
“Conceptually, a VectorImage< TPixel, 3 > is the same as a 
Image<https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1Image.html>< 
VariableLengthVector< TPixel >, 3 >. The difference lies in the memory 
organization. The latter results in a fragmented organization with each 
location in the Image<https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1Image.html> 
holding a pointer to an 
VariableLengthVector<https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1VariableLengthVector.html>
 holding the actual pixel. The former stores the k pixels instead of a pointer 
reference, which apart from avoiding fragmentation of memory also avoids 
storing a 8 bytes of pointer reference for each pixel. The parameter k can be 
set using SetVectorLength.”

Does it make any performance differences on the CPU algorithms?
I guess that the memory is reorganized in the rtk::CudaImageFilter to make it 
more efficient on the GPU (like a new image for each vector component). Or it 
is handled in a different way?

I think it will be more time consuming and error prone to do it by myself since 
I am not very familiar with GPU memory management.

Hi Gordian,
I don't think so. We have successfully used images of vectors (e.g., 
itk::CudaImage<itk::Vector<float,3>,2>) but I have never used VectorImage and I 
think you would need to rewrite an itk::CudaVectorImage to do so. I'm not sure 
how difficult that would be...

Hello,

I am looking for a ITKCudaCommon datatype that resembles the itk::VectorImage.

Is there a possibility to use itk::CudaImage somehow or other workarounds?

Thanks in advance,
Gordian
