[Insight-users] [Insight-developers] Curvature Calculation in ITK

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Sila,

What kind of curvature are you looking for ?

Is it the Gauss curvature of an Iso-surface of intensity ?

Is your input image an image of grayscale values ?

--

You will find methods for computing curvature in the file:

    Insight/Code/Common/itkLevelSetFunction.txx

In:

   - ComputeMinimalCurvature() line 55, and
   - ComputeMeanCurvature() line 160.


Regards,


      Luis
