[ITK] [ITK-users] Creating 3D dome using ITK

[Richard Beare]

A simple, although not necessarily efficient, way of doing this is to
create an image with a single voxel where you want the centre of the
(hemi)sphere to be, then dilate using the binary dilate filter
(alternatively compute a distance transform them threshold). These two
methods will give you a sphere, and you can then blank the half you don't
want.

Depending on the interface to ITK you are using, you could probably achieve
something similar by generating images containing physical coordinates an
plug those into formula for a sphere.
