Dear Hila, I think "Calamante, F., Tournier, J.D., Jackson, G.D., Connelly, A., 2010. Track Density Imaging (TDI): Super-resolution white matter imaging using whole-brain track-density mapping. Neuroimage 53, 1233-1243." is the standard reference for TDI.

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.

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?

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? -- Dipl.-Inform.
