Dear MITK users,

we would like to announce a major change for the manual segmentation:

Since today 3D interpolation is activated by default when using the manual 
segmentation tools. That means if you start contouring, from the second contour 
onwards, the surface of the segmented area will be interpolated based on the 
given contour information. 
The interpolation works with all available manual tools. Please note that this 
is currently a pure mathematical interpolation, i.e. image intensity 
information is not taken into account. With each further contour the 
interpolation result will be improved, 
but the more contours you provide the longer the recalculation will take.

To achieve an optimal interpolation result and in this way a most accurate 
segmentation you should try to describe the surface with sparse contours by 
segmenting in arbitrary oriented planes. The 3D interpolation is not meant to 
be used for parallel slice-wise segmentation.

Similar to the former 2D inter-slices interpolation you can accept the 
interpolation result by clicking the "Accept" - button below the tool buttons. 
In this case the 3D interpolation will be deactivated automatically so that the 
result can be postprocessed without any interpolation running in background.

We tried to keep the interpolation as fast as possible. During recalculation 
the interpolated surface is blinking yellow/white. When the interpolation has 
finished the surface is shown yellow with a small opacity. Additional to the 
surface, black contours are shown in the 3D render window. 
They mark the positions of all the drawn contours which were used for the 
interpolation. You can navigate between the drawn contours by clicking on the 
„Position“ - Nodes in the datamanager which are located below the selected 
segmentation. If you don't want to see these nodes just uncheck the
„Show Position Nodes“ Checkbox.

If you want to delete a drawn contour we recommend to use the Erase-Tool since 
Redo/Undo is not yet working for 3D interpolation.

If you don't want to use this new feature you can easily deactivate the 
interpolation with the radiobuttons below the manual tools or you can again use 
the 2D interpolation.

If you encounter any problems, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Regards
Andreas Fetzer
