什么是VTK

VTK (Visualization Toolkit) 是一个开源的、跨平台的计算机图形学、图像处理和可视化系统。它提供了丰富的算法和高级工具，用于3D计算机图形学、图像处理和可视化。

安装VTK

Windows平台

下载预编译版本：
- 从VTK官网或GitHub发布页面下载
- 使用vcpkg：vcpkg install vtk

从源码编译：

bash

git clone https://github.com/Kitware/VTK.git
mkdir VTK-build
cd VTK-build
cmake -DVTK_GROUP_ENABLE_Qt=YES ../VTK
cmake --build .

Linux平台

bash

sudo apt-get install libvtk7-dev  # Ubuntu/Debian
sudo yum install vtk-devel        # CentOS/RHEL

macOS平台

bash

brew install vtk

第一个VTK程序

cpp

#include <vtkSmartPointer.h>
#include <vtkSphereSource.h>
#include <vtkPolyDataMapper.h>
#include <vtkActor.h>
#include <vtkRenderer.h>
#include <vtkRenderWindow.h>
#include <vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h>int main(int, char *[])
{// 创建一个球体源vtkSmartPointer<vtkSphereSource> sphereSource = vtkSmartPointer<vtkSphereSource>::New();sphereSource->SetCenter(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);sphereSource->SetRadius(5.0);// 创建映射器vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyDataMapper> mapper = vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyDataMapper>::New();mapper->SetInputConnection(sphereSource->GetOutputPort());// 创建actorvtkSmartPointer<vtkActor> actor = vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor>::New();actor->SetMapper(mapper);// 创建渲染器和窗口vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderer> renderer = vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderer>::New();vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindow> renderWindow = vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindow>::New();renderWindow->AddRenderer(renderer);// 创建交互器vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindowInteractor> renderWindowInteractor = vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindowInteractor>::New();renderWindowInteractor->SetRenderWindow(renderWindow);// 添加actor到渲染器renderer->AddActor(actor);renderer->SetBackground(0.1, 0.2, 0.4); // 设置背景颜色// 开始渲染renderWindow->Render();renderWindowInteractor->Start();return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

CMake配置

cmake

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)
project(MyVTKProject)find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})add_executable(vtk_example vtk_example.cpp)
target_link_libraries(vtk_example ${VTK_LIBRARIES})

VTK核心概念

1. 管线架构(Pipeline Architecture)

VTK使用数据流管线架构，主要组件包括：

Source: 数据生成器(如vtkSphereSource)
Filter: 数据处理和转换(如vtkContourFilter)
Mapper: 将数据映射为图形基元(如vtkPolyDataMapper)
Actor: 场景中的对象(如vtkActor)
Renderer/RenderWindow: 渲染环境和窗口

2. 智能指针(vtkSmartPointer)

VTK使用引用计数管理内存，推荐使用vtkSmartPointer自动管理对象生命周期。

3. 数据模型

VTK支持多种数据模型：

vtkPolyData (多边形数据)
vtkImageData (规则网格图像数据)
vtkStructuredGrid (结构化网格)
vtkUnstructuredGrid (非结构化网格)

常用功能示例

读取和显示图像

cpp

#include <vtkSmartPointer.h>
#include <vtkJPEGReader.h>
#include <vtkImageViewer2.h>
#include <vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h>int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{if(argc < 2) {std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " imagefile.jpg" << std::endl;return EXIT_FAILURE;}vtkSmartPointer<vtkJPEGReader> reader = vtkSmartPointer<vtkJPEGReader>::New();reader->SetFileName(argv[1]);vtkSmartPointer<vtkImageViewer2> imageViewer = vtkSmartPointer<vtkImageViewer2>::New();imageViewer->SetInputConnection(reader->GetOutputPort());vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindowInteractor> renderWindowInteractor = vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindowInteractor>::New();imageViewer->SetupInteractor(renderWindowInteractor);imageViewer->Render();imageViewer->GetRenderer()->ResetCamera();imageViewer->Render();renderWindowInteractor->Start();return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

3D表面渲染

cpp

#include <vtkSmartPointer.h>
#include <vtkCubeSource.h>
#include <vtkPolyDataMapper.h>
#include <vtkActor.h>
#include <vtkProperty.h>
#include <vtkRenderer.h>
#include <vtkRenderWindow.h>
#include <vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h>int main(int, char *[])
{// 创建立方体源vtkSmartPointer<vtkCubeSource> cubeSource = vtkSmartPointer<vtkCubeSource>::New();// 创建映射器vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyDataMapper> mapper = vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyDataMapper>::New();mapper->SetInputConnection(cubeSource->GetOutputPort());// 创建actor并设置属性vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor> actor = vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor>::New();actor->SetMapper(mapper);actor->GetProperty()->SetColor(0.0, 1.0, 0.0); // 绿色actor->GetProperty()->SetOpacity(0.8);         // 半透明// 创建渲染器和窗口vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderer> renderer = vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderer>::New();vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindow> renderWindow = vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindow>::New();renderWindow->AddRenderer(renderer);// 创建交互器vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindowInteractor> interactor = vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindowInteractor>::New();interactor->SetRenderWindow(renderWindow);// 添加actor到渲染器renderer->AddActor(actor);renderer->SetBackground(0.1, 0.2, 0.3);// 开始渲染renderWindow->Render();interactor->Start();return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
