[vtkusers] 2D photographs to 3D model.

Hello,

I am new to VTK and I would like to know if the VTK software is good  
to import photographs representing slices of an eye and construct a 3D  
model. We froze an eye with CO2 and sliced it using a microtome and  
took pictures at regular intervals using a standard digital camera.  
Can we import images, trace the contour of the eye in each image  
(slice), tell the software the distance or thickness between each  
slice and construct a 3D model?   I will need to align the slices  
because the digital camera moved a little. As far as input/output  
files goes, we should be okay with .jpg and .obj and .stl. How much  
programming is involved? Can I do most of this work using paraview?

Thank you.

Reno.
