=====================

MATLAB files implementing the vascular geometry reconstruction algorithm in Bernabeu et al. "Computer simulations reveal complex distribution of haemodynamic forces in a mouse retina model of angiogenesis" J. R. Soc. Interface 2014.

Available scripts
-----------------

**SkelotonizeTiffPlexus.m** computes the skeleton (and associated radii) of a binary image of a vascular plexus. It opens a dialog box to choose a .tif image and generates a .mat to be consumed by ReconstructSurfaceFromSkeleton.m. Note that the repository doesn't currently include any .tif image due to their size. The processed .mat have been included instead.

**ReconstructSurfaceFromSkeleton.m** takes computed skeleton and radii of a vascular plexus and reconstructs a 3D model of the luminal surface of the vessels

**compile_VTP_writer.m** compiles the MEX files needed to use certain VTK functionality from MATLAB in ReconstructSurfaceFromSkeleton.m

**UsageExamples.m** example of usage of previous scripts.

Variables stored in the .mat file generated by SkelotonizeTiffPlexus.m
----------------------------------------------------------------------
**plexusImg** is the mask for the plexus.

**plexusBoundary** is the edge of the mask, from the bwboundaries function in MATLAB

**voronoiSkeleton** is the skeleton produced by the voronoiSkel function

**vertices** is the xy data for the voronoi vertices from the voronoiSkel function

**edges** is the index data defining which vertices are connected by each edge (from voronoiSkel).

**radii** is the distance from each voronoi vertex to the edge of the plexus (i.e. the radius of the maximum inscribed circle at that point), calculated with knnsearch

**radiiIndex** is the index of the nearest point on plexusBoundary to the vertex (not sure if you need this), from knnsearch

**skeleton** is the skeleton produced by postprocessing voronoiSkeleton with MATLAB's bwmorph function

**branchpoints** is the data for the branchpoints of the plexus, produced with the bwmorph function
