Hi Julian,
it is much easier than this. You don't need an extra lib.
You need to convert the segmentation into a surface e.g. by 
mitkManualSegmentationToSurfaceFilter.
(Smoothing the surface is supported as well.)
Then you can save the resulting mitkSurface (or vtkPolyData) by the appropriate 
SurfaceWriter. It saves the  file as STL in binary or ascii format.
 
Best Regards,
Ingmar

Betreff: [mitk-users] how to export segmented surface mesh as .STL or .PLY


Hi,

I downloaded the latest pre-release 0.10 application, and have been impressed 
with the segmentation capabilities.  However i require creating a surface mesh 
that I can load independently in a FEM package.  The most commonly support file 
format is STL.  

To work around this I attempted to export a VTK file, but on closer inspect 
this file stored binary data of simply 0's and 1's for very pixel at each 
slice, which wasn't useful in creating the vector a vector based shape to turn 
into polygons.

Does MITK support turning the segmentation into vector points, or can someone 
recommend a library for doing this?

Thanks,
Julian.
