NAME
mia-mesh-to-maskimage - Create a binary mask from the mesh surfac.
SYNOPSIS
mia-mesh-to-maskimage -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]
DESCRIPTION
mia-mesh-to-maskimage This program converts a 3D mesh into a binary mask comprising the mesh surface. The
output image size is either given on the command line or deducted from the mesh dimensions.
OPTIONS
File I/O
-i --in-file=(input, required); io
input mesh to be adapted
For supported file types see PLUGINS:mesh/io
-o --out-file=(output, required); io
output image containing the binary mask
For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/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

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).
Properties
--origin=[0,0,0]
coordinate of pixel at index 0,0,0
--spacing=[1,1,1]
voxel spacing in the output image, all values must be positive.
--size=[0,0,0]
size of the output image (0,0,0 = deduct)

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.
Recognized file extensions: .VTK, .VTKMESH, .vtk, .vtkmesh
EXAMPLE
The input mesh input.vmesh is converted into the binary mask mask.v. The image size is set to 50,50,50
and the size is obtained automatically to include the whole mesh
mia-mesh-to-maskimage -i input.vmesh -o mask.v --origin 0,0,0
