NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       mia-3disosurface-from-stack -i <in-image> -o <out-mesh> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mia-3disosurface-from-stack  This program is used to extract an iso-surface from the input
       gray scale image given as slices.

OPTIONS

   File-IO
              -i --in-image=(required)
                     input image filename pattern

              -o --out-mesh=(required)
                     output mesh

   Help & Info
              -V --verbose=warning
                     verbosity of output, print messages of given level  and  higher  priorities.
                     Supported priorities starting at lowest level are:
                        info ‐ Low level messages
                        warning ‐ Warnings
                        error ‐ Report errors
                        fail ‐ Report test failures
                        message ‐ Normal messages
                        fatal ‐ Report only fatal errors

              -h --help
                     print this help

              -? --usage
                     print a short help

                 --version
                     print the version number and exit

   Image options
              -s --iso-value=128
                     iso-value of iso surface to be extracted

   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 from an image set with numbers imageXXXX.png that corresponds to  the
       value 30 and stop optimizing when the mesh consists of less than 100000 triangles.

       mia-3disosurface-from-stack -i image0000.png -o mesh.vmesh -s 30 -f 100000
