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.
OPTIONS
File-IO
-i --in-file=(required, input); io
input image
For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/io
-o --out-file=(output, required); io
output mesh
For supported file types see PLUGINS:mesh/io
Help & Info
-V --verbose=warning
verbosity of output, print messages of given level and higher priorities.
Supported priorities starting at lowest level are:
trace ‐ Function call trace
debug ‐ Debug output
info ‐ Low level messages
message ‐ Normal messages
warning ‐ Warnings
fail ‐ Report test failures
error ‐ Report errors
fatal ‐ Report only fatal errors

Image options
-s --iso-value=128
iso-value of iso surface to be extracted
-b --bordered
put an empty border around the image to ensure a closed surface
Mesh options
-f --max-faces=-1
maximum number of Faces,
-e --max-edges=-1
maximum number of Edges
-c --max-cost=0.1
maximum cost for edge collaps
-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
from the high intensity area
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).

EXAMPLE
Extract the surface corresponding to the value 30 and stop optimizing when the mesh
consists of less than 100000 triangles.
