[Insight-users] active contour based segmentation

[Dan Mueller]

Hi Juliette,

Welcome to ITK!

I would recommending starting by reading the ITK Software Guide,
especially section 9.3:
    http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf

Then take a look at the examples:
   Examples\Segmentation\

> The CurvesLevelSetImageFilter example found in segmentation example folder
> has the same code as the fast marching algorithms!
Are you sure of this? I have downloaded ITK 3.10.0,
Examples\Segmentation\CurvesLevelSetImageFilter.cxx and
Examples\Segmentation\FastMarchingImageFilter.cxx seem quite
different.

If there are no examples showing the filter you want, perhaps try the tests:
    Testing\Code\Algorithms
    Testing\Code\BasicFilters

There are a number of Insight Applications which use level set
segmentation methods:
   SNAP: http://www.itksnap.org
   Applications\CannyLevelSet
   Applications\FastMarchingLevelSet
   Applications\GeodesicActiveContour
   Applications\LevelSetSegmentation
   Applications\LiverTumorSegmentation
   Applications\SimpleLevelSetsExample
   Applications\ThresholdSegmentationLevelSet
   Applications\ThresholdSegmentationLevelSetFltkGui

Hope this helps.

Regards, Dan
