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 [...]
