[vtkusers] Google Summer of Code

[Andreas Fabri]

Hello,

We are looking for a vtk-savy student who is interested to participate
in a project we have proposed  in  the Google Summer of Code 2010.
http://www.cgal.org/project_ideas.html#vtk
http://code.google.com/soc/

The goal is to make mesh generation algorithms of CGAL available
to the vtk community.  The task is to wrap these CGAL algorithms
in a way that they look vtk-ish, and can be used without that the vtk
user has to learn about CGAL.

The Surface Mesh generator:   http://www.cgal.org/Pkg/SurfaceMesher3
is an algorithm that can for example be used to compute a mesh for
an isosurface in a voxel image.  The mesh would right away be nice
in the sense that there are big triangles where the surface is flat,
and small triangles where it has high curvature, it respects a distance
bound and generates triangles for a user specified minimum angle.


The ideal student for this task
- understands vtk well enough to solve vtk related problems on his own
   (we don't have this knowledge)
- has already implemented a vtk process object,
- knows C++

Best regards,

Andreas Fabri
