Detailed Description

Mapper to resample and display 2D slices of a 3D image.

First, the image is resliced by means of vtkImageReslice. The volume image serves as input to the mapper in addition to spatial placement of the slice and a few other properties such as thick slices. This code was already present in the old version (mitkImageMapperGL2D).

Next, the obtained slice (m_ReslicedImage) is put into a vtkMitkLevelWindowFilter and the scalar levelwindow, opacity levelwindow and optional clipping to local image bounds are applied

Next, the output of the vtkMitkLevelWindowFilter is used to create a texture (m_Texture) and a plane onto which the texture is rendered (m_Plane). For mapping purposes, a vtkPolyDataMapper (m_Mapper) is utilized. Orthographic projection is applied to create the effect of a 2D image. The mapper and the texture are assigned to the actor (m_Actor) which is passed to the VTK rendering pipeline via the method GetVtkProp().

In order to transform the textured plane to the correct position in space, the same transformation as used for reslicing is applied to both the camera and the vtkActor. All important steps are explained in more detail below. The resulting 2D image (by reslicing the underlying 3D input image appropriately) can either be directly rendered in a 2D view or just be calculated to be used later by another rendering entity, e.g. in texture mapping in a 3D view.

Properties that can be set for images and influence the imageMapper2D are:

  • "opacity": (FloatProperty) Opacity of the image
  • "color": (ColorProperty) Color of the image
  • "LookupTable": (mitkLookupTableProperty) If this property is set, the default lookuptable will be ignored and the "LookupTable" value will be used instead.
  • "Image Rendering.Mode": This property decides which mode is used to render images. (E.g. if a lookup table or a transferfunction is applied). Detailed documentation about the modes can be found here: mitk::RenderingModeProperty
  • "Image Rendering.Transfer Function": (mitkTransferFunctionProperty) If this property is set, a color transferfunction will be used to color the image.
  • "binary": (BoolProperty) is the image a binary image or not
  • "outline binary": (BoolProperty) show outline of the image or not
  • "texture interpolation": (BoolProperty) texture interpolation of the image
  • "reslice interpolation": (VtkResliceInterpolationProperty) reslice interpolation of the image
  • "in plane resample extent by geometry": (BoolProperty) Do it or not
  • "bounding box": (BoolProperty) Is the Bounding Box of the image shown or not
  • "layer": (IntProperty) Layer of the image
  • "volume annotation color": (ColorProperty) color of the volume annotation, TODO has to be reimplemented
  • "volume annotation unit": (StringProperty) annotation unit as string (does not implicit convert the unit!) unit is ml or cm3, TODO has to be reimplemented

The default properties are:

  • "opacity", mitk::FloatProperty::New(0.3f), renderer, overwrite )
  • "color", ColorProperty::New(1.0,0.0,0.0), renderer, overwrite )
  • "binary", mitk::BoolProperty::New( true ), renderer, overwrite )
  • "outline binary", mitk::BoolProperty::New( false ), renderer, overwrite )
  • "texture interpolation", mitk::BoolProperty::New( false ) )
  • "reslice interpolation", mitk::VtkResliceInterpolationProperty::New() )
  • "in plane resample extent by geometry", mitk::BoolProperty::New( false ) )
  • "bounding box", mitk::BoolProperty::New( false ) )
  • "layer", mitk::IntProperty::New(10), renderer, overwrite)
  • "Image Rendering.Transfer Function": Default color transfer function for CTs
  • "LookupTable": Rainbow color.

If the modality-property is set for an image, the mapper uses modality-specific default properties, e.g. color maps, if they are defined.

Member Function Documentation

◆ ApplyColor()

void mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::ApplyColor ( mitk::BaseRenderer *  renderer)
protected

Set the color of the image/polydata.

◆ ApplyColorTransferFunction()

void mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::ApplyColorTransferFunction ( mitk::BaseRenderer *  renderer)
protected

This method applies a color transfer function. Internally, a vtkColorTransferFunction is used. This is useful for coloring continuous images (e.g. float)

Warning
To use the color transfer function, the property 'Image Rendering.Transfer Function' must be set and a 'Image Rendering.Mode' which uses the color transfer function must be set.

◆ ApplyLevelWindow()

void mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::ApplyLevelWindow ( mitk::BaseRenderer *  renderer)
protected

ApplyLevelWindow Apply the level window for the given renderer.

Warning
To use the level window, the property 'LevelWindow' must be set and a 'Image Rendering.Mode' which uses the level window must be set.
Parameters
rendererLevel window for which renderer?

◆ ApplyLookuptable()

void mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::ApplyLookuptable ( mitk::BaseRenderer *  renderer)
protected

This method applies (or modifies) the lookuptable for all types of images.

Warning
To use the lookup table, the property 'Lookup Table' must be set and a 'Image Rendering.Mode' which uses the lookup table must be set.

◆ ApplyOpacity()

void mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::ApplyOpacity ( mitk::BaseRenderer *  renderer)
protected

Set the opacity of the actor.

◆ ApplyRenderingMode()

void mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::ApplyRenderingMode ( mitk::BaseRenderer *  renderer)

Switches between different rendering modes (e.g. lookup table or transfer function).

Detailed documentation about the modes can be found here: mitk::RenderingModeProperty

Parameters
[in]rendererThe renderer for which to apply the rendering mode.

◆ CalculateLayerDepth()

float mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::CalculateLayerDepth ( mitk::BaseRenderer *  renderer)
protected

This method uses the vtkCamera clipping range and the layer property to calculate the depth of the object (e.g. image or contour). The depth is used to keep the correct order for the final VTK rendering.

◆ Clone()

Pointer mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::Clone ( ) const

◆ CreateOutlinePolyData()

vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyData> mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::CreateOutlinePolyData ( mitk::BaseRenderer *  renderer)
protected

Generates a vtkPolyData object containing the outline of a given binary slice.

Parameters
rendererPointer to the renderer containing the needed information
Note
This code is based on code from the iil library.

◆ GenerateDataForRenderer()

void mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::GenerateDataForRenderer ( mitk::BaseRenderer *  renderer)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Does the actual resampling, without rendering the image yet. All the data is generated inside this method. The vtkProp (or Actor) is filled with content (i.e. the resliced image).

After generation, a 4x4 transformation matrix(t) of the current slice is obtained from the vtkResliceImage object via GetReslicesAxis(). This matrix is applied to each textured plane (actor->SetUserTransform(t)) to transform everything to the actual 3D position (cf. the following image).

Reimplemented from mitk::Mapper.

◆ GeneratePlane()

void mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::GeneratePlane ( mitk::BaseRenderer *  renderer,
double  planeBounds[6] 
)
protected

Generates a plane according to the size of the resliced image in millimeters.

In VTK a vtkPlaneSource is defined through three points. The origin and two points defining the axes of the plane (see VTK documentation). The origin is set to (xMin; yMin; Z), where xMin and yMin are the minimal bounds of the resliced image in space. Z is relevant for blending and the layer property. The center of the plane (C) is also the center of the view plane (cf. the image above).

Note
For the standard MITK view with three 2D render windows showing three different slices, three such planes are generated. All these planes are generated in the XY-plane (even if they depict a YZ-slice of the volume).

◆ GetInput()

const mitk::Image* mitk::DoseImageVtkMapper2D::GetInput ( void  )

Get the input Image to be mapped.

Returns
Const pointer to the mitk::Image associated with this mapper's DataNode.

Get the LocalStorage corresponding to the current renderer.

Parameters
[in]rendererThe renderer whose LocalStorage is requested.
Returns

SlicedGeometry3D *  imageGeometry 
)
protected

If all distances have the same sign (all positive or all negative) there is no intersection. If the distances have different sign, there is an intersection.
