Hello Vikram, thanks for your patience. Pretty busy couple of weeks. On Apr 23, 2013, at 2:51 PM, Vikram Mehta wrote:

There isn't a way to directly do this in vmtk using a script, but you can extract the origin and normal of a boundary using vmtkmeshboundaryinspector (you'll need to generate a mesh with vmtkmeshgenerator first, just use a fixed -edgelength - any mesh size will do if you just need to inspect the boundaries for the origin and normal), compute the transformation yourself and apply it with vmtkmeshtransform (by specifying the coefficients of the 4x4 transform matrix in lexicographic order with the -matrix option). > 2) Sometimes during the segmentation process, I end up with reconstructions > with artificial bumps on them.

Yes, it happens sometimes, probably depending on the image features. A localized smoothing filter is something I thought about and wouldn't be hard to implement, but it isn't in vmtk right now. The way to get around this is to use vmtksurfaceclipper (preferably using -type sphere), clip a bump and then cap it using vmtksurfacecapper -method smooth.
