[ITK] [ITK-users] itkSmoothingQuadEdgeMeshFilter Help!!

[Mallikarjun K]

Hi All,

Can anyone suggest me if anything wrong I am doing in this below pipeline
,Where I used itkVtkPolydataReader to convert vtk Surface polydata to Itk
QuadedgeMesh. Execution loop is being hung up for sometime(4 to 5 mins in
release mode) at itkVtkPolydataReader .


////

typedef itk::QuadEdgeMeshTraits<double, 3,double, double, double,double >
qetraits;

typedef itk::QuadEdgeMesh< vtkFloatingPointType, 3,qetraits > MeshType;

itk::OnesMatrixCoefficients< MeshType > coeff0;

typedef itk::VTKPolyDataReader< MeshType >VTKPolyDataReaderType;
//typedef itk::VTKPolyDataWriter< MeshType >VTKPolyDataWriterType;

//VTKPolyDataWriterType::Pointer
ItkToVtkWriter=VTKPolyDataWriterType::New();
VTKPolyDataReaderType::Pointer VtkToItkReader=VTKPolyDataReaderType::New();

VtkToItkReader->SetFileName("abc.vtk");
VtkToItkReader->Update();

typedef itk::SmoothingQuadEdgeMeshFilter< MeshType, MeshType >
SmoothingQuadEdgeMeshFilter;

 SmoothingQuadEdgeMeshFilter::Pointer QEMeshSmoother =
SmoothingQuadEdgeMeshFilter::New();

QEMeshSmoother->SetInput(VtkToItkReader->GetOutPut());
QEMeshSmoother->SetNumberOfIterations(5 );
QEMeshSmoother->SetRelaxationFactor( 0.5 );
QEMeshSmoother->SetDelaunayConforming(true );
QEMeshSmoother->SetCoefficientsMethod( &coeff0 );
QEMeshSmoother->Update();
