Hi Stefan thank you very much for your answer.
I'm not sure if you would like to get answers from an end-user perspective or developer perspective?
Both ;-)
- A broad question that cannot be answered in short but MITK is in general based on ITK and VTK so you can use everything that ITK is offering pretty much without reinventing the wheel (as developer).
But can one give a fast answer if ITK has filters? I think VTK has no filters to my knowledge.....
- I recomend to download and check out the last release installer (v2018.04.2) and have a look at the Segmentation View -> 3D Tools. http://mitk.org/wiki/MITK_ReleaseNotes_2018.04.2
Is there some place in the code where segmentation is governed central? Short question: I conclude that there are different segmentation methods implemented?
- It depends. We support several data types that appear or can appear as surface. The obvious is the direct support of surfaces/meshes. Regarding segmentations (image masks) you can convert them also to surfaces in the context menu of the Data Manager.
I am only interested in meshes as output. So surface meshes are possible and can be exported as e.g. triangles or also with other basic elements?
- ACVD is a great and remarkable remeshing algorithm with focus on reducing vertex count AND mesh quality in terms of making triangles more regular while minimizing the remeshing the surface distance bewteen the original and remeshed surface. It is represented by the Remeshing plugin (Stanford bunny icon) and directly provides hints for the parameters in its UI.
Is it similar to subdivision surfaces? At least concerning the aim?
- Just right-click any node in the Data Manager and click on "Save...". I can also recommend the first three User Tutorials listed here (http://mitk.org/wiki/Tutorials). They are from 2015 but still pretty much accurate today. :)
So I can load dicoms, filter them with some filters, segment, create a surface mesh and export it for further use? Do I understand correct?
