Abstract
This paper describes the Insight Toolkit (ITK) Conformal Flattening filter: itkConformalFlatteningFilter.
This ITK filter is an implementation of a paper by Sigurd Angenent, et al., "On the Laplace-Beltrami Operator and Brain Surface Flattening" [1]. This filter performs an angle preserving map of any genus
zero (i.e. no handles) surface to the sphere or, alternatively, to the plane. In this paper, we describe our
code and provide the user with enough details to reproduce the results which we present in this paper.
This filter has a variety of applications including the flattening of brain surfaces, which was the initial
motivation for this work.
