Hi, the mitk::ImageToSurfaceFilter doesn't transform the image into a surface but generates a new surface by using the image and some user defined threshold. All mitk filters are derived from itk::ProcessObject and therefore generate new data objects. Some filters (like the ImageToSurfaceFilter) need an input so that they can process it and generate new data object out of it.
I do not know your exact use case but I assume you want to extract a surface from your image. The code for that looks like the following: mitk::ImageToSurfaceFilter::Pointer image2surface = mitk::ImageToSurfaceFilter::New(); image2surface->SetInput(myMask); image2surface->SetThreshold(yourThreshold); image2surface->Update(); otherFunction(image2surface->GetOutput()); If you look into existing MITK code you will find many examples of how using filters correctly. You can also find further information about the filter concept in the ITK Software Guide (which is also available as PDF) since we took over this concept in MITK.

I have an Image, and I want to apply mitk::ImageToSurfaceFilter , and use the surface obtained as an argument of other function. - First question: This filter transforms the image into a triangular mesh? (If first question is true) - Second (what I wanted to do) : boost::shared_ptr< Mask > myMask = *maskIter; // Mask = mitk::image surface = ImageToSurfaceFilter (myMask); otherFunction (surface); That is the idea of what I wanted to do. But reading the Documentation of the filter I don't get how to use it, and I can't find examples either.
