mitk::ImageToSurfaceFilter Class Reference

Converts pixel data to surface data by using a threshold The mitkImageToSurfaceFilter is used to create a new surface out of an mitk image. The filter uses a threshold to define the surface. It is based on the vtkMarchingCube algorithm. By default a vtkPolyData surface based on an input threshold for the input image will be created. Optional it is possible to reduce the number of triangles/polygones [SetDecimate(mitk::ImageToSurfaceFilter::DecimatePro) and SetTargetReduction (float _arg)] or smooth the surface-data [SetSmooth(true), SetSmoothIteration(int smoothIteration) and SetSmoothRelaxation(float smoothRelaxation)].

Detailed Description

Converts pixel data to surface data by using a threshold The mitkImageToSurfaceFilter is used to create a new surface out of an mitk image. The filter uses a threshold to define the surface. It is based on the vtkMarchingCube algorithm. By default a vtkPolyData surface based on an input threshold for the input image will be created. Optional it is possible to reduce the number of triangles/polygones [SetDecimate(mitk::ImageToSurfaceFilter::DecimatePro) and SetTargetReduction (float _arg)] or smooth the surface-data [SetSmooth(true), SetSmoothIteration(int smoothIteration) and SetSmoothRelaxation(float smoothRelaxation)].

The resulting vtk-surface has the same size as the input image. The surface can be generally smoothed by vtkDecimatePro reduce complexity of triangles and vtkSmoothPolyDataFilter to relax the mesh. Both are enabled by default and connected in the common way of pipelining in ITK. It's also possible to create time sliced surfaces.

◆ SetDecimate()

virtual void mitk::ImageToSurfaceFilter::SetDecimate ( DecimationType  _arg)

void mitk::ImageToSurfaceFilter::SetSmoothIteration ( int  smoothIteration)

Set the number of iterations that is used to smooth the surface. Used is the vtkSmoothPolydataFilter that uses the laplacian filter. The higher the number of iterations that stronger the smooth-result
