Perturbing Mesh Vertices with Additive Gaussian Noise
Published in The Insight Journal

Vigneault D.

This brief document provides an introduction to an external ITK module, DVMeshNoise. This module provides classes for perturbing the positions of the vertices of either an itk::Mesh or itk::QuadEdgeMesh with Gaussian noise. This may be useful in testing the [...]

Anomalous Diffusion Paradigm for Image Denoising Process
Published in The Insight Journal

Senra Filho A.C., Murta Junior L.O.

Anisotropic and isotropic diffusion equations have been extensively applied on biomedical image processing for many years and a great diversity of algorithm have been proposed by the scientific community. Here, it is available a recent new implementation of [...]

ND morphological contour interpolation
Published in The Insight Journal

Zukić D., Vicory J., McCormick M., Wisse L., Gerig G., Yushkevich P., Aylward S.

This document describes a new class, itk::MorphologicalContourInterpolator, which implements a method proposed by Albu et al. in 2008. Interpolation is done by first determining correspondence between shapes on adjacent segmented slices by detecting overlaps, [...]

RLEImage: run-length encoded memory compression scheme for an itk::Image
Published in The Insight Journal

Zukić D., McCormick M., Gerig G., Yushkevich P.

This document describes a new class, itk::RLEImage, which uses run-length encoding to reduce the memory needed for storage of label maps. This class is accompanied by all the iterators to make it a dropin replacement for itk::Image. By changing the image [...]

Cubic and Hermite splines for VTK
Published in The MIDAS Journal

Kovacs N., Peters T., Chen E.

A cubic spline is a spline where each curve is defined by a third-order polynomial, while a Hermite spline has each polynomial specified in Hermite form, being computed using tangent information as well as the position of the points. We propose two new [...]

Providing values of adjacent voxel with vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes
Published in The VTK Journal

Grothausmann R.

The contribution to VTK presented in this article is an extension to vtk::vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes to also create vtk::vtkPointData scalars containing the value of the adjacent voxel. These can be used to remove regions of the marching-cubes 1 mesh depending [...]
