Interface IProcessingTask

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractProcessingTask, CreateCopiesTask, ExecutorServiceProcessingTask, FuzzyCMeansImageClustering, FuzzyLICMeansImageClustering, ImageDataBoxLoader, ImageProcessingTask, KMeansImageClustering, PreviewProcessingTask, SerialProcessingTask, SingleProcessingTask, SynchronousTankItemLoader, TankItemLoader, TemplateMatchingWithIterators, TemplateMatchingWithRasters

public interface IProcessingTask

A processing task can be executed in the memory or can temporarily store the processed items to the hard disk. Then, only the current element is deserialized, processed in memory and subsequently again serialized to the hard disk.

This is important for stacks of very large data items.

Method Detail

isVirtual

boolean isVirtual()

Returns whether or not the virtual flag has been set at the execution start of a task.

Returns:

true if every item is serialized to the hard disk and loaded again on demand,
false if the entire processing is performed within the memory.
