Detailed Description

Conversion between a pixel position in the ultrasound image and the real position in meters.

Warning
Be sure you correctly filled your acquisition settings (probe radius, scan line pitch, etc...). Those parameters are used in the conversion !

The following image shows the correspondance between frames (u,v) and (x,y) for post-scan 2D images:

The following image shows the correspondance between frames (u,v,w) and (x,y,z) for post-scan 3D images with linear motor:

◆ convert() [1/2]

void usPixelMeterConversion::convert ( const usImagePostScan2D< unsigned char > &  image,
const double &  u,
const double &  v,
double &  x,
double &  y 
)
static

Conversion for 2D post-scan images.

Parameters
[in]image2D Post-scan image with settings well filled.
[in]xPosition in meters along x axis to convert.
[in]yPosition in meters along y axis to convert.
[out]uConverted position in pixels along x axis.
[out]vConverted position in pixels along y axis.
Warning
Make sure you completed the following transducer settings and the image settings before the conversion. Settings needed in case of linear transducer : -The image dimensions (normally set when you filled your image). -The height and width resolutions.

Settings needed in case of convex transducer : -The image dimensions (normally set when you filled your image). -The height and width resolutions. -The transducer radius (in meters). -The scan line number : number of scan lines used when you acqired the image. -The scan line pitch : angle (radians) between two successive scan lines in acquisition.

Conversion for 3D post-scan images.

Parameters
[in]image2D Post-scan image with voxels spacings, transducer settings and motor settings well filled.
[in]xPosition in meters along x axis to convert.
[in]yPosition in meters along y axis to convert.
[in]zPosition in meters along z axis to convert.
[out]uConverted position in pixels along x axis.
[out]vConverted position in pixels along y axis.
[out]wConverted position in pixels along z axis.
Warning
Make sure you completed the following transducer settings, the motor settings, and the image settings before the conversion. Settings needed in case of linear transducer and linear motor : -The image dimensions (normally set when you filled your image). -The 3 elements spacing (x,y and z).

Settings needed in case of linear transducer and tilting motor : -The image dimensions (normally set when you filled your image). -The 3 elements spacing (x,y and z). -The motor radius. -The frame number : number of frames you acqired to get this post-scan image. -The frame pitch : angle (radians) between two successive frames in acquisition.
