Detailed Description

template<class TInputMesh, class TOutputMesh>
class itk::NormalQuadEdgeMeshFilter< TInputMesh, TOutputMesh >

Filter which computes normals to faces and vertices and store it in the output mesh. Normals to face are first computed, then normals to vertices are computed as linear combination of neighbor face normals, i.e.

$n_v = \frac{\sum_{i=0}^{N_f} \omega_i \cdot n_i}{\| \sum_{k=0}^{N_f} \omega_x \cdot n_k\|}$

.

The difference between each method relies in the definition of the weight $\omega_i$ that you can specify by the method SetWeight.

GOURAUD $\omega_i = 1$ [1]
THURMER $\omega_i =$ Angle of the considered triangle at the given vertex} [2]
AREA $\omega_i = Area(t_i)$ [3]

These weights are defined in the literature:

[1] Henri Gouraud. Continuous shading of curved surfaces. IEEE Transaction on Computers, 20(6):623-629, 1971
[2] Shuangshuang Jin, Robert R. Lewis, and David West. A comparison of algorithms for vertex normal computation. The Visual Computer, 21(1-2):71-82, 2005.
[3] Grit Thurmer and Charles A. Wuthrich. Computing vertex normals from polygonal facets. Journal of Graphic Tools, 3(1):43-46, 1998.

Note: By default the weight is set to the TURMER weight.

Todo:: Fix run-time issues regarding the difference between the Traits of TInputMesh and the one of TOutputMesh. Right now, it only works if TInputMesh::MeshTraits == TOutputMesh::MeshTraits (and of course it requires that the output have some itk::Vector for point data and cell data.
