Geodesic distances in RvtkStatismo? #9

Closed dfsp-spirit closed 5 years ago

dfsp-spirit commented 5 years ago

I recently found this blog article from 2016 on computing geodesic distances using RvtkStatismo. It mentions the functions vtkGeodesicPath and vtkGeodesicPathForPointPair in a dev branch.

When I grep through the checked out git repo (master) for geodesic, I do not find anything though. Did these functions not make it into master?

In case not: since you seem to know a lot about computations on meshes judging from your repos, may I ask you for a suggestion on what package I could use to compute geodesic distances on triangular meshes in R?

At that time, I prepared RvtkStatismo for the upcoming develop branch of statismo (deb packages on https://launchpad.net/~zarquon42/+archive/ubuntu/statismo-develop), that never got merged into master (but still works). Everything after, I only implemented in the develop branch of RvtkStatismo. Easiest way would be to install statismo-develop and RvtkStatismo develop branch. Or, if you prefer, I can make a cherry-pick commit to port those functions to the master branch.

Thanks. I will try to install that deb and the develop branch of RvtkStatismo under Linux later then.
