vmtk tutorials

These are a bunch of tutorials on the use of vmtk. The first group is about the infrastructure, the second about the functionality. You should really read the first two infrastructure tutorials before moving on to the functionality tutorials.

Infrastructure

Vmtk Scripts - learn how to run vmtk scripts
Using Pypepad - learn how to use Pypepad
Basic PypeS Tutorial - learn how to effectively pipe vmtk scripts together
Use PypeS Programmatically - learn how to interactively work with PypeS objects
Advanced PypeS Tutorial - learn how to write your own PypeS modules

Functionality

Getting Started - learn how to get your original dataset to work into vmtk and set it up for further processing
Level Set Segmentation - learn how to reconstruct the 3D surface of a vascular segment from CT or MR images using level sets
Computing Centerlines - learn how to compute centerlines of a vascular segment
Preparing a Surface for Meshing - learn how to prepare a surface for mesh generation
Generating a Mesh - learn how to generate a mesh from a surface
Meshing the Netgen Way - learn an alternative way of meshing with Netgen
Branch Splitting - learn how to split a branching vessel into its constituent branches
Geometric analysis - learn how to analyze the 3D geometry of a vascular segment
Mapping and patching - learn how to map the surface of a population of vessels onto the same parametric space and enable statistical analyses of surface-based quantities

Contributed tutorials

Image feature correction - learn how to correct the feature image in order to have a good surface model near bone and pockets of air.
