Dear Hila,

we basically walk along the fiber and increase the grey value of each encountered voxel. Afterwards everything is normalized to one. So you don't get absolute values how many fibers are passing each voxel but an indicator of where are many and where are only few fibers in the image.

The filter is called in QmitkFiberProcessingView::GenerateTractDensityImage so you can use that as a reference. The simplest example would be the following:

itk::TractDensityImageFilter< float >::Pointer generator = itk::TractDensityImageFilter< float >::New();
generator->SetFiberBundle(fib);
generator->Update();

where fib is a mitk::FiberBundleX::Pointer.

Thank you!

would you please explain :
   - how this filter works (a brief description of the algorithm) ?
- example of how to use this filter ? (which inputs to insert, how to get the output ...)

many thanks in advance ...

Best,
Hila

    Actually I recently changed the name to itk::TractDensityImageFilter.

    Dear Peter, Mitk's users

    Would you please consider my question?
    any ideas/thoughts would be very appreciated!

    It's obvious that the density equation is:
    [samples/volume]*[samples/fiber]

    but I'm afraid it's not the right aspect to this challenge.

    maybe the bundle color’s gradients can provide any helpful details?


    Best,
    Hila

    Hi all,

    How I can calculate the fibers density from a .fib/.vtk 3d image ?
    I thought to calculate it along it's direction of longitude.
    maybe I should consider to calculate the number of fibers which
    are crossing an orthogonal plane?

    another q: how  I can achieve the gradient value which is
    represented as a color on the .fib file?
