GWireCommand Class

Summary

Performs semi-automatic segmentation by creating minimal paths that follow the boundaries of the objects in the image.

Syntax

C++

public class GWireCommand : IDisposable

Public Class GWireCommand  
   Implements System.IDisposable

public ref class GWireCommand : public System.IDisposable

Remarks

This command is useful when extracting objects from an image. It works by constructing a minimal path between two input points (the seed and the target points) that follows the edges of the image's objects.
The returned minimal paths can be used to create a region that covers the object of interest.
If the image contains a region the region is ignored. The GWireCommand works on the entire image.
This function supports 12- and 16-bit grayscale and 48- and 64-bit color images. (Support for 12- and 16-bit grayscale and 48- and 64-bit color images is only available in the Document/Medical Imaging toolkits.)
This command does not support signed images.

   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   //Load an image 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "IMAGE3.dcm")); 
 
   GWireCommand command = new GWireCommand(image, 90); 
 
   List<LeadPoint> SeedPoints = new List<LeadPoint>(); 
 
   // Get the boundaries of the object 
   SeedPoints.Add(new LeadPoint(200, 163));

   SeedPoints.Add(new LeadPoint(199, 175)); 
 
   int pointIdx = 0; 
   List<LeadPoint> AllPaths = new List<LeadPoint>(); 
 
   // Loop over the list of SeedPoints to get the minimum path between each set of two points. 
   // And add the minimum path between the two points to the AllPaths List. 
   for (int index = 0; index < 4; index++) 
   { 
      // Set the seed point. 
      command.SetSeedPoint(SeedPoints[pointIdx]);

      LeadPoint[] minPath = command.GetMinPath(SeedPoints[pointIdx]);

      AllPaths.AddRange(minPath); 
   } 
 
   // Use the minimum path around the object and convert it to a region. 
   image.AddPolygonToRegion(null, AllPaths.ToArray(), LeadFillMode.Alternate, RasterRegionCombineMode.Set);
