NAME

       mia-3disosurface-from-volume - Extract an ist-surface froma a 3D image.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-3disosurface-from-volume -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mia-3disosurface-from-volume This program is used to extract an iso-surface from the input
       gray scale image by using marching thetrahedra.

              -r --ratio=4
                     ratio  of  faces(edges) to target number, at which  the optimization changes
                     from edge-length to volume-optimized

              -w --reverse-winding
                     reverse the winding of the triangles in order to  make  normals  point  away

   Processing
                 --threads=-1
                     Maxiumum number of threads to use for processing,This number should be lower
                     or equal to the number of logical  processor  cores  in  the  machine.  (-1:
                     automatic estimation).
