VVECCOM

VisionX V4
NAME

vveccom − combines vector files for aorta, combines and breaks into segments.

SYNOPSIS

veccom if1=<vector1> if2=<vector2> of=<outfile> cx=<> cy=<> cz=<> r=<> n=<>

DESCRIPTION

vveccom takes in two VisionX_GFLOAT vectors and the output is the combined vector. Each element of the two vectors has a format of (x,y,z,r), which represents the centerpoints and estimated radius from the tracking stage. It also breaks the combined vector into n segments (n=5) and prints the index of each segment. All segments have approximately the same number of centerpoints and the overlaps between two segments are also approximately the same. For example, the first segment is from centerpoint 1 to centerpoint n. The second segment is from centerpoint (n-m) to centerpoint (n-m)+(n-1), etc.

CONSTRAINT

Input if1 and if2 should be VisionX generic float vector (output from vatrk). Output file is also a generic float vector. cx,cy,cz and r are output from vaorta. They represent the (x,y,z) coordinates and estimated radius of the seed point and the largest circle. n (n=5) is the number of segments.
