[Insight-users] 3D Segmentation

[Benjamin King]

Hi Mohammed,

for general introduction to ITK, you might want to refer to the software 
guide (http://www . itk . org/ItkSoftwareGuide . pdf). It provides an excellent 
overview of the whole system.

Another rich source for information is the documentation web page of the 
project (http://www . itk . org/HTML/Documentation . htm).

Now for your questions:
You'll find the classes closely related to segmentation if you start at the 
documentation page, click on 'manual pages', then 'Groups' and then 'Image 
Segmentation Filters'. (direct link: 
http://www . itk . org/Doxygen/html/group__ImageSegmentation . html)

Input/Output is implemented by classes derived from itk::ImageIOBase and 
you can refer to the documentation for this class to get an overview of 
what's supported 
(http://www . itk . org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1ImageIOBase . html). Chapter 7 
of the software guide will provide an accessible introduction into the 
general implementation of IO in ITK.
It is also possible to read images with VTK and then connect the VTK 
pipeline to ITK.

cheers,
  Benjamin
