vol2heightfield

Converts volumetric file into a projected 2D image given from a normal direction N and from a starting point P.

The 3D volume is scanned in this normal direction N starting from P with a step 1. If the intensity of the 3d point is inside the given thresholds its 2D gray values are set to the current scan number.

Usage: vol2heightfield [input] [output]

Allowed options are:

Positionals:
  1 TEXT:FILE REQUIRED                  vol file (.vol, .longvol .p3d, .pgm3d and if WITH_ITK is selected: dicom, dcm, mha, mhd). For longvol, dicom, dcm, mha or mhd formats, the input values are linearly scaled between 0 and 255.
  2 TEXT=result.pgm                     resulting image filename (in pgm or other).

 
Options:
  -h,--help                             Print this help message and exit
  -i,--input TEXT:FILE REQUIRED         vol file (.vol, .longvol .p3d, .pgm3d and if WITH_ITK is selected: dicom, dcm, mha, mhd). For longvol, dicom, dcm, mha or mhd formats, the input values are linearly scaled between 0 and 255.
  -o,--output TEXT                      resulting image filename (in pgm or other)
  -m,--thresholdMin INT=128             threshold min (excluded) to define binary shape.
  -M,--thresholdMax INT=255             threshold max (included) to define binary shape.
  --rescaleInputMin INT=0               min value used to rescale the input intensity (to avoid basic cast into 8  bits image).
  --rescaleInputMax INT=255             max value used to rescale the input intensity (to avoid basic cast into 8  bits image).
  --nx FLOAT=0                          set the x component of the projection direction.
  --ny FLOAT=0                          set the y component of the projection direction.
  --nz FLOAT=1                          set the z component of the projection direction.
  -x,--centerX UINT=0                   choose x center of the projected image.
  -y,--centerY UINT=0                   choose y center of the projected image.
  -z,--centerZ UINT=0                   choose z center of the projected image.
  -w,--width UINT=100                   set the width of the resulting height Field image.
  --height UINT=100                     set the height of the resulting height Field image.
  --heightFieldMaxScan UINT             set the maximal scan deep.
  --setBackgroundLastDepth              change the default background (black with the last filled intensity).

Example:

$ vol2heightfield ${DGtal}/examples/samples/lobster.vol resultingHeightMap.pgm -m 60 -M 500  --nx 0 --ny 0.7 --nz -1 -x 150 -y 0 -z 150 --width 300 --height 300 --heightFieldMaxScan 350  resultingHeightMap.pgm

You should obtain such a resulting image:
