This compilation is tested with MSVC 2015. It is recommended to build toolchains from sources for better version compatibility.

Prerequisites

Please install the following packages.

  • Git for Windows
  • MSVC 2015 (Windows)
  • G++ (Ubuntu sudo apt install build-essential)
  • CMake
  • VTK (Mandatory when VMTK super build is not implemented)
  • ITK (Mandatory when VMTK super build is not implemented)
  • Qt
  • VMTK

Please following the build instructions from each package. If you have any difficulty in building the library, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Compilation steps

  1. Create an empty folder anywhere in the computer, e.g. D:/projects
  2. Open Git Bash and move working directory to D:/project
  3. Type git clone https://github.com/jackyko1991/Vessel-Centerline-Extraction on Git Bash
  4. Create an empty folder D:/projects/Vessel-Centerline-Extraction/build
  5. Open CMake GUI
  6. Press Browse Source and direct to D:/projects/Vessel-Centerline-Extraction
  7. Press Browse Build and direct to D:/projects/Vessel-Centerline-Extraction/build
  8. Press Configure and choose Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64 (Windows) or Unix Makefiles (Ubuntu)
  9. Error comes out when configuring VMTK, change the VMTK_DIR variable to the folder containing FindVMTK.cmake, usaually at D:/VMTK/build/VMTK-Build. The system should auto configure VTK paths.
  10. If VTK is not found , provide the variable VTK_DIR to the folder containing FindVMTK.cmake
  11. Press Generate
  12. Build steps differ from Windows and Linux at this point
    • Windows Build
      1. Press Open and change solution build type to Release
      2. Press F7 to compile
      3. Copy the necessary dlls to D:\projects\Vessel-Centerline-Extraction\build\Release upon system request. The dlls may found in VTK, VMTK and Qt binary directory
    • Ubuntu Build
      1. On terminal, move working directory to /<projects>/Vessel-Centerline-Extraction/build, where /<projects> is the directory containing the source
      2. make
  13. Run the test script ./CenterlineExtraction <surface.stl> <capped_surface.stl> <centerline.vtp>, replace lines in <> to the actual path of containing the associated files. Sample data can be found from Vessel-Centerline-Extraction/test_data
