Detailed Description

compute signed distances from an input point cloud

vtkSignedDistance is a filter that computes signed distances over a volume from an input point cloud. The input point cloud must have point normals defined, as well as an optional weighting function (e.g., probabilities that the point measurements are accurate). Once the signed distance function is computed, then the output volume may be isocontoured to extract a approximating surface to the point cloud.

To use this filter, specify the input vtkPolyData (which represents the point cloud); define the sampling volume; specify a radius (which limits the radius of influence of each point); and set an optional point locator (to accelerate proximity operations, a vtkStaticPointLocator is used by default). Note that large radius values may have significant impact on performance. The volume is defined by specifying dimensions in the x-y-z directions, as well as a domain bounds. By default the model bounds are defined from the input points, but the user can also manually specify them.

This filter has one other unusual capability: it is possible to append data in a sequence of operations to generate a single output. This is useful when you have multiple point clouds (e.g., possibly from multiple acqusition scans) and want to incrementally accumulate all the data. However, the user must be careful to either specify the Bounds or order the input such that the bounds of the first input completely contains all other input data. This is because the geometry and topology of the output sampling volume cannot be changed after the initial Append operation.

This algorithm loosely follows the most excellent paper by Curless and Levoy: "A Volumetric Method for Building Complex Models from Range Images." As described in this paper it may produce a signed distance volume that may contain the three data states for each voxel: near surface, empty, or unseen (see vtkExtractSurface for additional information). However, this algorithm has been extended to support different interpolation kernels as follows.

(Kernel description TODO including supplied weights.)

Warning

This class has been threaded with vtkSMPTools. Using TBB or other non-sequential type (set in the CMake variable VTK_SMP_IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE) may improve performance significantly.

void vtkSignedDistance::StartAppend

Initialize the filter for appending data.

You must invoke the StartAppend() method before doing successive Appends(). It's also a good idea to manually specify the model bounds; otherwise the input bounds for the data will be used.

void vtkSignedDistance::Append

Append a data set to the existing output.

To use this function, you'll have to invoke the StartAppend() method before doing successive appends. It's also a good idea to specify the model bounds; otherwise the input model bounds is used. When you've finished appending, use the EndAppend() method.

int vtkSignedDistance::ProcessRequest ( vtkInformation *  , vtkInformationVector **  , vtkInformationVector *    )

virtual int vtkSignedDistance::RequestData ( vtkInformation *  request, vtkInformationVector **  inputVector, vtkInformationVector *  outputVector  )

protectedvirtual

This is called in response to a REQUEST_DATA request from the executive.

Subclasses should override either this method or the ExecuteDataWithInformation method in order to generate data for their outputs. For images, the output arrays will already be allocated, so all that is necessary is to fill in the voxel values.

Reimplemented from vtkImageAlgorithm.

virtual int vtkSignedDistance::FillInputPortInformation ( int  port, vtkInformation *  info  )

protectedvirtual

These method should be reimplemented by subclasses that have more than a single input or single output.

See vtkAlgorithm for more information.

Reimplemented from vtkImageAlgorithm.
