NAME
mia-3disosurface-from-volume - Extract an ist-surface froma a 3D image.
SYNOPSIS
mia-3disosurface-from-volume -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]
DESCRIPTION
mia-3disosurface-from-volume This program is used to extract an iso-surface from the input gray scale
image by using marching thetrahedra.
OPTIONS
File-IO
-i --in-file=(input, required); io
input image
For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/io
-o --out-file=(output, required); io
output mesh
For supported file types see PLUGINS:mesh/io
Help & Info
-V --verbose=warning
verbosity of output, print messages of given level and higher priorities. Supported
priorities starting at lowest level are:
trace ‐ Function call trace
debug ‐ Debug output
info ‐ Low level messages
message ‐ Normal messages
warning ‐ Warnings
fail ‐ Report test failures
error ‐ Report errors
fatal ‐ Report only fatal errors

--version
print the version number and exit
Image options
-s --iso-value=128
iso-value of iso surface to be extracted
-b --bordered
put an empty border around the image to ensure a closed surface
Mesh options
-f --max-faces=-1
maximum number of Faces,
-e --max-edges=-1
maximum number of Edges
-c --max-cost=0.1
maximum cost for edge collaps
-r --ratio=4
ratio 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).

vtk A subset of VTK mesh in-and output: Triangle meshes are written, and triangle meshes and
triangle strips are read. Additional per-vertex attributes are supported: 'normals', 'colors'
for three component colors, and 'scale' for a scalar value attached to each vertex. The data is
written by the vtkPolyDataWriter in binary format.

EXAMPLE
Extract the surface corresponding to the value 30 and stop optimizing when the mesh consists of less than
100000 triangles.
