[ITK-users] Strange coordinates output by itk::ContourExtractor2DImageFilter

[沈庄明]

Hi all,


I used itk::ContourExtractor2DImageFilter to extract contours from a binary image (i.e. only 0 or 255 for pixel intensity). Mostly, the code can work correctly. However, the code sometimes outputs very strange coordinates (e.g. (194.0, 5.36011819173e-320) ), which should represent the path of the contour. When I change the contour value from 0 to other number no less than 255 (i.e. 250), I got more strange coordinates. My code and results are listed as below. Has anyone met the same situation?​

Here is my code

=======================================================================================

import itk

reader = itk.ImageFileReader[itk.Image.UC2].New()
reader.SetFileName("test.nii")
reader.Update()

contour_extractor = itk.ContourExtractor2DImageFilter[itk.Image.UC2].New()
contour_extractor.SetInput(reader.GetOutput())
contour_extractor.SetContourValue(0)
contour_extractor.Update()

contour_number = contour_extractor.GetNumberOfOutputs()

print("There are "+str(contour_number)+" contours")

for k in xrange(contour_number):
    print("================  Contour "+str(k)+" ================")

    point_number = contour_extractor.GetOutput(k).GetVertexList().Size()
    print("Point number: "+str(point_number))

    for i in xrange(point_number):
        print("("+str(contour_extractor.GetOutput(k).GetVertexList().GetElement(i)[0])+","+str(contour_extractor.GetOutput(0).GetVertexList().GetElement(i)[1])+")")




Here is my results

=========================================================================================

There are 2 contours
