Hello everyone, I just came across vmtk and was wondering if I could you it for my work. My question is this: I have a tubular 3d surface ( length of colon) similar to the vessels you show in the tutorials except that there is not branching only bending. I would like to map this 3D surface to a plane (or regular cylinder) using VMTK so that I can then create try to subdivide my tubular 3d surface ( volume) in to sections ( alond the central axis direction) of equal volume based on mapping uniform strips on the mapped plane back to the 3D surface. I see a two step procedure: 1) first create a mapping from the 3D surface to a plane ( or in fact a regular cylinder such that volume is conserved) 2) cut sections of the cylinder and relate them to sections on the mesh. Is that possible with tools in VMTK ? If not please help me with some suggestions. I can send a sample of my mesh in wrl/vrml format. thank you GT |
