Hi Firas,
 the segmentation you get from level sets is actually a volume (e.g. 
foo_ls.vti), that you 
then pass to vmtkmarchingcubes to generate a surface. If you load that volume 
with 
vmtkimageviewer, you'll see that it's mostly white and it's black inside the 
model.
Therefore as far as the segmentation is concerned, the "mask" is the portion of 
the
volume produced by segmentation that has negative values.

As to the centerline, there is no canned way in vmtk for sampling the 
centerline over 
the image, but it's not hard to do using VTK. There's a filter, 
vtkVoxelModeller, that 
just does this.

Alternatively, you could use
vmtkcenterlinemodeller -ifile centerline.vtp -imagefile image.vti -ofile 
centerlinemask.vti -radiusarray MaximumInscribedSphereRadius
but this will generate a volume that crosses zero at the boundary of the 
centerline tube
(i.e. considering its radius), not at the centerline itself.
Of course you could change the radius of the centerline to a small value, so 
that the
tube you get is thin around the centerline. You can do that in Paraview, using 
the Calculator 
filter to rescale the MaximumInscribedSphereRadius array.

Hope this is a start, thanks for appreciating the project.
