The filter takes as input a volume (e.g., 3D structured * point set) of segmentation labels and generates on output one or more * models representing the boundaries between the specified label and the * adjacent structures. One or more label values must be specified to * generate the models. The boundary positions are always defined to be * half-way between adjacent voxels. This filter works best with integral * scalar values. * * If ComputeScalars is on (the default), each output cell will have cell * data that corresponding to the scalar value (segmentation label) of the * corresponding cube. Note that this differs from vtkMarchingCubes, which * stores the scalar value as point data. The rationale for this difference * is that cell vertices may be shared between multiple cells. This also * means that the resultant polydata may be non-manifold (cell faces may be * coincident). To further process the polydata, users should either: 1) * extract cells that have a common scalar value using vtkThreshold, or 2) * process the data with filters that can handle non-manifold polydata * (e.g. vtkWindowedSincPolyDataFilter). Also note, Normals and Gradients are * not computed. * * If ComputeAdjacentScalars is on (default is off), each output point will * have point data that contains the label value of the neighbouring voxel. * This allows to remove regions of the resulting vtkPolyData that are * adjacent to specific label meshes. For example, if the input is a label * image that was created by running a watershed transformation on a distance * map followed by masking with the original binary segmentation.

If you are interested in contouring * other types of data, use the general vtkContourFilter. If you want to * contour an image (i.e., a volume slice), use vtFlyingEdges2D or * vtkMarchingSquares. * * @sa * vtkSurfaceNets3D vtkDiscreteFlyingEdges3D vtkSurfaceNets2D * vtkContourFilter vtkSliceCubes vtkMarchingSquares vtkDividingCubes */ #ifndef vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes_h #define vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes_h #include "vtkFiltersGeneralModule.h" // For export macro #include "vtkMarchingCubes.h" class VTKFILTERSGENERAL_EXPORT vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes : public vtkMarchingCubes { public: ///@{ /** * Standard methods for instantiation, obtaining type information, and * printing the state of an object. */ static vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes* New(); vtkTypeMacro(vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes, vtkMarchingCubes); void PrintSelf(ostream& os, vtkIndent indent) override; ///@} ///@{ /** * Set/Get the computation of neighbouring voxel values. */ vtkSetMacro(ComputeAdjacentScalars, vtkTypeBool); vtkGetMacro(ComputeAdjacentScalars, vtkTypeBool); vtkBooleanMacro(ComputeAdjacentScalars, vtkTypeBool); ///@} protected: vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes(); ~vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes() override; int RequestData(vtkInformation*, vtkInformationVector**, vtkInformationVector*) override; vtkTypeBool ComputeAdjacentScalars; private: vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes(const vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes&) = delete; void operator=(const vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes&) = delete; }; #endif
