Purpose

The CSOToSurface module allows for creating a WEM surface mesh from CSOs (contours).

This module essentially performs the same function as CSOVoxelizeContours followed by WEMIsoSurface, but it operates more efficiently because it works on a sparse voxel grid internally.

The CSOs should be aligned in the x/y orientation of the reference input image and should be located on the z slices. The module will generate surfaces for arbitrary CSOs; however, to achieve a nicely closed surface, the CSOs should lie precisely on the slices of the reference image.

If you need more control over the surface creation, you will need to switch to CSOVoxelizeContours and WEMIsoSurface.

Visible Fields

Auto Apply

name: autoApply, type: Bool, default: TRUE

see WEMGenerator.autoApply

Update Mode

name: updateMode, type: Enum, default: AutoUpdate, deprecated name: autoUpdate

see WEMGenerator.updateMode

Apply

name: apply, type: Trigger

see WEMGenerator.apply

Clear

name: clear, type: Trigger

see WEMGenerator.clear

Overwrite label and description

name: overwriteLabelDescription, type: Bool, default: FALSE

see WEMGenerator.overwriteLabelDescription

Label

name: label, type: String

see WEMGenerator.label

Description

name: description, type: String

see WEMGenerator.description

Adaptivity

name: adaptivity, type: Double, default: 0

Sets the adaptivity of the mesh generation.

A value of 0 means maximum detail, while a value of 1 indicates maximum polygon reduction.

Build Edges

name: buildEdges, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, edges of the output WEM are generated.

Iso Value

name: isoValue, type: Float, default: 0.5, minimum: 0.001, maximum: 1

Sets the level set iso-value; the default is 0.5 to ensure compatibility with WEMIsoSurface.
