[ITK] [ITK-users] region inside points

[Fabian Torres]

Hi all.

Just wanted to let you know I solved the problem for 2D by doing the next:

Arrange the white pixels in clockwise order
  1. Calculate the centroid of the region define by the white pixels
  2. Calculate the angle between the white pixels and the centroid using
atan2( )
  3. Sort the white pixels in clockwise order.

Draw a line between the pixels to fill the gap between points to obtain a
closed contour
  1. Using LineIterator to draw lines between the clockwise ordered points

Fill the region inside the close contour.
 1. Using GrayScaleFillholeImageFilter.

I don´t know if this is a nice solution but it works for now.

I will try to use this approach for 3D images, processing them slice by
slice. I think I can use the itkSliceBySliceImageFilter, since I create an
itk filter that outputs the closed contour image, but I don´t know if this
is going to work.

If any one have any advice on this matter it would be appreciated.

Greetings
