# PyVoxSurf
A Python C++ extension based on VoxSurf for voxelization of 3D meshes.

**NOTE**: PyPi distribution is only compatible with Microsoft Windows

### Principle
 1. Rasterize triangles using three 2D axis aligned grids, using integer arithmetic (fixed floating point) for robust triangle interior checks
 2. [Optional] Fill interior of voxelized surface with either of two schemes: **Inside** - fastest method evaluates whether a voxel is inside from only one direction or **Robust** - evaluates whether a voxel is inside from all three directions and a voting determines final status

## Usage

pyvoxsurf.**voxelize_stl**

| Argument  | Type | Default | Description |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| `filename`  | string  | | Filename of .stl file
| `resolution` | integer  | | Number of voxel slices in the z-axis
| `bounds`  | [2x3] array  | | [Optional] Min and max bounds in (x, y, z) coordinates of desired voxel volume
| `voxel_fill` | string  | "None" | [Optional] "None", "Inside", or "Robust" type of filling


```python
import pyvoxsurf
from mayavi import mlab

volume1 = pyvoxsurf.voxelize_stl("model.stl",200,[],"Robust")
print(volume1.shape)

# Visualize voxelized model
from tvtk.util.ctf import PiecewiseFunction
mlab.figure(size=(800,800))
vol = mlab.pipeline.volume(mlab.pipeline.scalar_field(volume1))
mlab.title('Voxelized model',height=0.9,size=0.5)
mlab.orientation_axes()
otf = PiecewiseFunction()
otf.add_point(0,0)
otf.add_point(0.001, 1)
otf.add_point(1,1)
vol._otf = otf
vol._volume_property.set_scalar_opacity(otf)
mlab.show()
```

pyvoxsurf.**voxelize**

| Argument  | Type | Default | Description |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| `vertices`  | [nx3] array  | | Vertex positions in (x, y, z) coordinates
| `triangle_indices` | [nx3] array  | | Indices of connected vertices forming triangles of mesh
| `bounds`  | [2x3] array  | | Min and max bounds in (x, y, z) coordinates of desired voxel volume
| `resolution` | integer  | | Number of voxel slices in the z-axis
| `voxel_fill` | string  | "None" | [Optional] "None", "Inside", or "Robust" type of filling

```python
import pyvoxsurf
import trimesh
import numpy as np
from mayavi import mlab

mesh = trimesh.load("model.stl") # Load stl file

# Find the max and min coordinates of the mesh to form a bounding box
mesh_min_corner = [np.min(mesh.vertices[:,0]), np.min(mesh.vertices[:,1]), np.min(mesh.vertices[:,2])]
mesh_max_corner = [np.max(mesh.vertices[:,0]), np.max(mesh.vertices[:,1]), np.max(mesh.vertices[:,2])]
bounds = np.stack((mesh_min_corner,mesh_max_corner))

volume2 = pyvoxsurf.voxelize(mesh.vertices,mesh.faces,bounds,100,"Inside")
print(volume2.shape)

# Visualize voxelized model
from tvtk.util.ctf import PiecewiseFunction
mlab.figure(size=(800,800))
vol = mlab.pipeline.volume(mlab.pipeline.scalar_field(volume2))
mlab.title('Voxelized model',height=0.9,size=0.5)
mlab.orientation_axes()
otf = PiecewiseFunction()
otf.add_point(0,0)
otf.add_point(0.001, 1)
otf.add_point(1,1)
vol._otf = otf
vol._volume_property.set_scalar_opacity(otf)
mlab.show()

```
