TissueLens

vtk-examples/Python/Medical/TissueLens

Description

This example uses two vtkClipDataSet filters to achieve a "tissue lens" effect. First, a vtkSphere implicit function is used to clip a spherical hole in the isosurface extracted with vtkFlyingEdges3D or vtkMarchingCubes. Then a geometric vtkSphereSource samples the original volume data using a vtkProbeFilter. vtkClipDataSet uses the resulting scalar point data to clip the sphere surface with the isosurface value.

Usage

TissueLens FullHead.mhd

Note

The skin color was selected from Table 7 in Improvement of Haar Feature Based Face Detection in OpenCV Incorporating Human Skin Color Characteristic

Info

The example uses src/Testing/Data/FullHead.mhd which references src/Testing/Data/FullHead.raw.gz.
