    • LseEvolve3

      protected LseEvolve3(int iXBound, int iYBound, int iZBound, float fXSpacing, float fYSpacing, float fZSpacing, float[] afData, boolean[] abMask, float fBorderValue, int eScaleType)
      Create a new level-set evolver for 3D images.
      Parameters:
      iXBound - The x-bound of the image.
      iYBound - The y-bound of the image.
      iZBound - The z-bound of the image.
      fXSpacing - The x-spacing of the image.
      fYSpacing - The y-spacing of the image.
      fZSpacing - The z-spacing of the image.
      afData - The image elements, stored in lexicographical order.
      abMask - The image mask, stored in lexicographical order. A voxel value is processed by the PDE solver only when the mask value is false.
      fBorderValue - Specifies how to handle the image value. When set to Float.MAX_VALUE, Neumann conditions are in use, in which case zero-valued derivatives are assumed on the image border. Otherwise, Dirichlet conditions are used, in which case the image is assumed to be constant on the border with value specified by fBorderValue.
      eScaleType - The type of scaling to apply to the input image. The choices are NONE, UNIT, SYMMETRIC, or PRESERVE_ZERO.
  • Method Details

    • getParameters

      public final LseParameters getParameters()
      Get the current level-set evolution parameters.
      Returns:
      The current level-set evolution parameters.
    • computeFunction

      protected final float computeFunction(int iX, int iY, int iZ)
      Evolution support. ComputeTimeStep() is called each time before ComputeFunction() is called. The function ComputeCurvature() actually computes k*L, where k is the mean curvature and L is the length of the gradient vector. The resulting quantity is

         k*L = (Uxx*(Uy*Uy+Uz*Uz) + Uyy*(Ux*Ux+Uz*Uz) + Uzz*(Ux*Ux+Uy*Uy) - 2*(Uxy*Ux*Uy + Uxz*Ux*Uz + Uyz*Uy*Uz))/(Ux*Ux+Uy*Uy+Uz*Uz)

      where Ux, Uy, and Uz are first-order partial derivatives and Uxx, Uxy, Uxz, Uyy, Uyz, and Uzz are second-order partial derivatives.
      Parameters:
      iX - The x-coordinate of the voxel.
      iY - The y-coordinate of the voxel.
      iZ - The z-coordinate of the voxel.
      Returns:
      The value of the right-hand side of the PDE that governs the level-set evolution.
