Hi Zhuo,

You seem to be confused between VTK and ITK.


VTK is a visualization toolkit.
    http://www.vtk.org
    There is a mailing-list for VTK users:
    http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/vtkusers


ITK is an image processing toolkit with
    emphasis in segmentation and registration.
    http://www.itk.org


Segmentation in VTK can only be done by
extracting isosurfaces from the image data.
The methods iso-surface extraction are
discussed in the message below.
http://www.itk.org/pipermail/insight-users/2003-March/002718.html


ITK provides a large set of segmentation
methods. Some of them are treated in the
Segmentation chapter of the SoftwareGuide.

Please take a look at chapter 8, pdf-page 247.


Regards,


  Luis
