[vtkusers] calculating volume enclosed by polydata mesh using Gauss' theorem

[Dr. Roman Grothausmann]

Dear mailing list members,


Is there already a filter in VTK (ITK) that computes the volume enclosed by a 
closed polydata mesh using Gauss’ theorem for measuring volume?
Like the Measure-Plugin in Blender or e.g. as described here:
http://iopscience.iop.org/0031-9155/41/9/016/

vtkMeshQuality is only per element based and therefore has no volume for 
polydata. I'd want to apply it after using vtkConnectivityFilter to get the 
volume of each disconnected (closed) component. Basically Gaetan Lehmann's 
ITK-contribution but for labelled meshes in VTK 
(http://www.insight-journal.org/browse/publication/176).

Any help or hints are very much appreciated
Roman
