CGAL 5.5.1 - 3D Surface Mesh Generation
CGAL::Gray_level_image_3< FT_, Point_ > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/Gray_level_image_3.h>

## Definition

A 3D gray image is a tri-dimensional array that associates a scalar value to each triple of integer $$(x, y, z)$$ in the range of the image.

A trilinear interpolation algorithm provides a map $$f : \mathbb{R}^3 \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$$.

The class Gray_level_image_3 is a 3D gray image loader and a model of the concept ImplicitFunction. An object of the class Gray_level_image_3 is created with a parameter iso_value and then its operator() implements the function sign of (f(p) - iso), for $$p \in \mathbb{R}^3$$. Plugging such a function in the creation of the Implicit_surface_3 object given as parameter to make_surface_mesh() yields a mesh approximating the level with value iso in the input 3D gray image.

Gray_level_image_3 provides an interface with an auxiliary library called CGAL_ImageIO. An executable that uses Gray_level_image_3 must be linked with the CGAL_ImageIO library.

The library CGAL_ImageIO and therefore Gray_level_image_3 support several types of 3D images: INRIMAGE (extension .inr[.gz]), GIS (extension .dim, of .ima[.gz]), and ANALYZE (extension .hdr, or .img[.gz]).

## Types

typedef FT_ FT
the numerical type FT.

typedef Point_ Point
the point type.

## Creation

Gray_level_image_3 (const char *filename, FT iso_value)
filename is the path to a file of a type supported by ImageIO. More...

## Operations

FT operator (const Point &p) const
Returns the sign of $$f(p)$$ - iso_value.

## ◆ Gray_level_image_3()

template<typename FT_ , typename Point_ >
 CGAL::Gray_level_image_3< FT_, Point_ >::Gray_level_image_3 ( const char * filename, FT iso_value )

filename is the path to a file of a type supported by ImageIO.

iso_value is an isovalue of the interpolation function $$f$$.
