PFM Conversion

[Andrew Fields]

Hi Plastimatch community, 

I am using the DRR function to create simulated x-rays of the spine and the files need to be formatted as .png or .jpeg for my application. What is the optimal way for converting from a Plastimatch output format (pfm, pgm, or raw) into .png or .jpeg?

Right now, I am using the Plastimatch command prompt to output .pfm files, opening the .pfm files in GIMP, and exporting them as .png files with the default export parameters. It is functional, but a bit clunky.

Hi Andrew,

 

I think you could use the imagemagick convert program.

 

But even better, I should refactor that code.  It is ancient, circa 2003, before ITK was required.  Now that ITK is required, we should use it!

Hi all,

some years ago I wrote a python code for converting the pfm file into a numpy matrix.
At this point you can easily save the numpy matrix as image (eg by using skimage)
The code is already in the plastimatch source:
https://gitlab.com/plastimatch/plastimatch/-/blob/master/extra/python/pfm.py

I wrote it 7 years ago, so maybe something changed in the libraries.

Let me know if it works.

Best,

Paolo
