Check if points are in/out segments

Hi to everyone. A quick question for today :slight_smile:

My goal is to know what points (contained in a fiducialsNode) are in/out one segment. Like in the photo:

At this moment I use the labelmap representation of the segment and the points in IJK coordinates. I’m wondering if exist a way to do it directly using the points in RAS coordinates and the segment.

Thanks.

Hi,

This is a very interesting topic. I find it particularly useful for cleaning geometries and point clouds. Please let me know if you’ve managed to resolve the issue.

Thanks.

You may investigate vtkExtractEnclosedPoints and vtkSelectEnclosedPoints.

That was the solution!

The vtkExtractEnclosedPoints I couldn’t make it work by the way. The basic code I made is:



segmentNode = slicer.mrmlScene.GetFirstNodeByClass("vtkMRMLSegmentationNode")  



segmentId = segmentNode.GetSegmentation().GetNthSegmentID(0)  
geometry = vtk.vtkPolyData()
segmentNode.GetClosedSurfaceRepresentation(segmentId, geometry)




points_array = np.load("puntos.npy")  




points = vtk.vtkPoints()
for point in points_array:
    points.InsertNextPoint(point)


pointCloud = vtk.vtkPolyData()
pointCloud.SetPoints(points)


enclosedPointsFilter = vtk.vtkSelectEnclosedPoints()
enclosedPointsFilter.SetInputData(pointCloud)
enclosedPointsFilter.SetSurfaceData(geometry)  
enclosedPointsFilter.Update()


inside_mask = []
for i in range(points.GetNumberOfPoints()):
    is_inside = enclosedPointsFilter.IsInside(i)  fuera
    inside_mask.append(is_inside)
    print(f"Point{i}: {'Inside' if is_inside else 'Outside'}")
