NAME

   mia-3disosurface-from-stack - Extract an ist-surface froma a 3D image.

SYNOPSIS

   mia-3disosurface-from-stack -i <in-image> -o <out-mesh> [options]

DESCRIPTION

   mia-3disosurface-from-stack  This  program  is  used to extract an iso-
   surface from the input gray scale image given as slices.

OPTIONS

   File-IO
          -i --in-image=(input, required); string
                 input image filename pattern

          -o --out-mesh=(output, required); string
                 output mesh

   Help & Info

             --version
                 print the version number and exit

   Image options
          -s --iso-value=128
                 iso-value of iso surface to be extractediso-value of  iso
                 surface to be extracted

   Mesh options
          -f --max-faces=-1

          -e --max-edges=-1

          -c --max-cost=0.1
                 maximum  cost  for  edge  collapsmaximum  cost  for  edge
                 collaps

          -r --ratio=4
                 ratio of faces(edges) to target  number,  at  which   the
                 optimization      changes     from     edge-length     to
                 volume-optimizedratio of faces(edges) to  target  number,
                 at  which   the  optimization changes from edge-length to
                 volume-optimized

          -w --reverse-winding
                 reverse the winding of the triangles  in  order  to  make
                 normals point away from the high intensity area

   Processing
             --threads=-1
                 Maxiumum  number  of  threads  to use for processing,This
                 number should be lower or equal to the number of  logical
                 processor   cores   in   the   machine.   (-1:  automatic
                 estimation).Maxiumum  number  of  threads  to   use   for

                 number of logical processor cores in  the  machine.  (-1:
                 automatic estimation).

EXAMPLE

   Extract  the  surface from an image set with numbers imageXXXX.png that
   corresponds to  the value 30 and stop optimizing when the mesh consists
   of less than 100000 triangles.

   mia-3disosurface-from-stack  -i  image0000.png  -o  mesh.vmesh -s 30 -f
          100000
