VTK/Examples/Cxx/Images/ImageIslandRemoval2D

This example creates a small white square and a big white square. We want the ImageIslandRemoval2D to turn the small white square black and leave the big white square alone.

Download and Build ImageIslandRemoval2D

Click here to download ImageIslandRemoval2D. and its CMakeLists.txt file.

Once the tarball ImageIslandRemoval2D.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd ImageIslandRemoval2D/build 

• If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

• If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./ImageIslandRemoval2D

WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
