What’s the difference of vtkvmtkPolyDataNetworkExtraction() and vtkvmtkPolyDataCenterlines() ?
I find that:
-
speed. The vtkvmtkPolyDataNetworkExtraction() is faster than vtkvmtkPolyDataCenterlines() , and sametime, the number of points in centerline network is less than in centerline polydata. Does vtkvmtkPolyDataNetworkExtraction() only contain the endpoints of each line?How can I resample the centerline network(vtkPolyData) to get the centerline volume that’s size is consistent with the original mask?
-
accuracy. vtkvmtkPolyDataNetworkExtraction() seems to be less accurate than vtkvmtkPolyDataCenterlines() in blood vessels. But the vtkvmtkPolyDataCenterlines() can easily get the flying centerlines(out of vessel) on small blood veesels. So, I prefer the vtkvmtkPolyDataNetworkExtraction().
