[vtk-developers] Rendering Image and Picking Points

[David Thompson]

Hi Luis,

> 2- When I am trying to use those coordinates once I had picked to calculate the center of mass between them , the results are not accurately rights. And everything that I have to derivate/build also are not, as well as when I make a Plane and the its origin goes away into the camera out of my cylinder(image). ...

It looks like you are positioning the camera using image parameters... but you are not mapping the image directly. Instead, you are mapping geometry from a VRML file and texturing it with the image. The pick coordinates will be points on the VRML geometry, not image-space coordinates. There is an additional transform from texture coordinates to image coordinates that is being ignored.
