This page outlines the proposed changes to the current Level-Set framework. A number of these changes will break backwards compatibility.

Authors

The proposed changes for the Level-Set framework are being proposed by the Megason-Lab, Systems Biology Department, Harvard Medical School.

Questions and comments regarding these changes should be sent to

  • Arnaud Gelas (arnaud_gelas -at- hms.harvard.edu)
  • Sean Megason (sean_megason -at- hms.harvard.edu)

Other team members include:

Ideas

Term class

Represent on term of the PDE. First example of implementation (not complete) located at http://github.com/lantiga/ModularLevelSets.

  • One weight (scalar)
  • One Level Set Function
  • virtual GetCFLContribution() = 0;
  • virtual Value() = 0;
  • virtual bool IsStreamable() = 0

Term Container class

  • std::map< id, Term > to be able to dynamically chaVirtual Value() = 0;
  • bool IsStreamable(); // iterate on all term elements as long as there is streamable element.

Term Sum Container

  • Inherit form Term Container
  • Implement Value as sum of all elements from the container

Term Product Container

  • Inherit form Term Container
  • Implement Value as product of all elements from the container

LevelSetFunctionBase

  • Virtual Value() = 0;
  • Virtual Grad() = 0;
  • Virtual Hessian() = 0;
  • Virtual bool IsStreamable() = 0;

LocalStructure

  • Location x
  • std::pair< bool, xxx > value (bool encode if its characteristics has already been computed)
  • std::pair< bool, xxx > grad
  • Etc…

Reinitialization Filter

  • Input: one level set function
  • Output: one level set function
  • Virtual void GenerateData() = 0; // processing

Stopping criterion

  • Functor?
  • Phi^{n}
  • Phi^{n-1}
  • Number of iterations
  • Check for additional values that can be passed (to avoid as much as possible explosion of computational cost!!!)

SamplingDomain

  • Represents the domain where the level set PDE is sampled, and thus used to solve the PDE equation.
  • Iterator Begin();
  • Iterator End();
  • Iterator Iterator::operator ++ ( -- ? )
