Definition

template<typename FT_, typename Point_>
class CGAL::Gray_level_image_3< FT_, Point_ >

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]).
