[Insight-users] AW: Problem of transforming itk data to vtk.

[jiang]

Hi Luis,
I modify the code as you said. The compiling is no problem. When I run it,
the application crashes. Then I debug it try to find out the problem. I find
that the transfer part can pass debug. It stops at the end of the function.
And it enters itkVTKImageExportBase.cxx, and stops at UpdateDataCallback();
or somewhere.
But the vtk writing has be executed. I render it by VolView. The result is
still wrong. Then I use my itk to vtk pipeline. Then render the vtk writing
file by VolView. The result is same as above.
So I consider that either the both convert methods are correct, or both are
incorrect. Since the results are same. And other possibilities are vtk write
procesure was wrong, or VolView render procesure was wrong.
The vtk write part is:
	vtkImageWriter* writer = vtkImageWriter::New();
	writer->SetFileName("Importer");
	writer->SetInput(importer->GetOutput());
	writer->SetFileDimensionality(3);
	writer->Write();

I open "Importer" by VolView as raw data, other steps are all performed as
Open Wizard with default parameter.

Could you please help me to judge what's wrong with my program? Thank you
very much for your kind help!

Best regards,
Chunyan Jiang

Hi Jiang,

You shouldn't add .h nor .txx files to the list
of sources in your CMakeLists.txt file.

.h and .txx files are not compiled directly,
they are compiled only when their type is instantiated
in included in a .cxx. your list of sources should
only have .cxx files.

VC++ will not know what to do with a .txx file
since the templated class is not a fully defined
type.

In order to use the ITK to VTK adaptor, just
include the header file in your code and
instantiate one adaptor for the ITK image type
that you are using.



Something like:

#include "itkImageToVTKImageFilter.h"

typedef unsigned char  VisualizationPixelType;

typedef itk::Image<
               VisualizationPixelType, 3
                        >VisualizationVolumeType;

typedef itk::ImageToVTKImageFilter<
                    VisualizationVolumeType
                           > ITK2VTKAdaptorFilterType;


// Note the use of the SmartPointer !!
ITK2VTKAdaptorFilterType::Pointer
         adaptor = ITK2VTKAdaptorFilterType::New();


// Connect the reader

    adaptor->SetInput( reader->GetOutput() );

// Then you can get the output vtkImageData by doing

    vtkImageData  * image = adaptor->GetOutput();





   Regards,


     Luis
