Icosahedron Coloring #21

Open tuks188 opened 4 years ago

tuks188 commented 4 years ago

A filter for an icosahedral color wheel. I need to create the RGB values and then tell Paraview to visualize it similar to the way Generate IPF Colors does. I will basically define 12 patches on the unit sphere and then figure out which of the 12 the c axis of each pixel hits and color accordingly. Based on Yamrom's method:

Yamrom B (1997) Method of color coding orientation information.

Is there any existing code for this algorithm?

Patented in 1994. What is the lifetime of the patent

tuks188 commented 4 years ago

Utility patents survive 20 years, so it is no longer protected.

tuks188 commented 4 years ago

I have some old C code for this, which I am working towards porting into DREAM.3D as a new filter.

Has there been any movement on this issue?
