Boolean Operation PolyData Filter says no intersection in a plane and a sphere

Support
1

I want to make an intersection with a plane and a sphere with vtkBooleanOperationPolyDataFilter, but the result is no intersection.
Could anyone explain to me why?

the code is here:

#include <vtkActor.h>
#include <vtkBooleanOperationPolyDataFilter.h>
#include <vtkCleanPolyData.h>
#include <vtkNamedColors.h>
#include <vtkNew.h>
#include <vtkPlaneSource.h>
#include <vtkPolyDataMapper.h>
#include <vtkProperty.h>
#include <vtkRenderWindow.h>
#include <vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h>
#include <vtkRenderer.h>
#include <vtkSmartPointer.h>
#include <vtkTriangleFilter.h>

#include <vtkBYUReader.h>
#include <vtkOBJReader.h>
#include <vtkPLYReader.h>
#include <vtkPolyDataReader.h>
#include <vtkSTLReader.h>
#include <vtkXMLPolyDataReader.h>

#include <vtkSphereSource.h>
#include <vtksys/SystemTools.hxx>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyData> input1;
  vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyData> input2;

  vtkNew<vtkSphereSource> sphereSource1;
  sphereSource1->SetCenter(-0.15, 0, 0);
  sphereSource1->SetPhiResolution(20);
  sphereSource1->SetThetaResolution(20);
  sphereSource1->Update();
  input1 = sphereSource1->GetOutput();

  vtkNew<vtkPlaneSource> plane;
  plane->SetXResolution(100);
  plane->SetYResolution(100);
  plane->SetOrigin(-1, -1, 0);
  plane->SetPoint1(1, -1, 0);
  plane->SetPoint2(-1, 1, 0);
  plane->Update();
  input2 = plane->GetOutput();

  vtkNew<vtkNamedColors> colors;

  vtkNew<vtkPolyDataMapper> input1Mapper;
  input1Mapper->SetInputData(input1);
  input1Mapper->ScalarVisibilityOff();
  vtkNew<vtkActor> input1Actor;
  input1Actor->SetMapper(input1Mapper);

  vtkNew<vtkPolyDataMapper> input2Mapper;
  input2Mapper->SetInputData(input2);
  input2Mapper->ScalarVisibilityOff();
  vtkNew<vtkActor> input2Actor;
  input2Actor->SetMapper(input2Mapper);

  vtkNew<vtkBooleanOperationPolyDataFilter> booleanOperation;
  booleanOperation->SetOperationToIntersection();
  booleanOperation->SetInputData(0, input1);
  booleanOperation->SetInputData(1, input2);

  vtkNew<vtkPolyDataMapper> booleanOperationMapper;
  booleanOperationMapper->SetInputConnection(booleanOperation->GetOutputPort());
  booleanOperationMapper->ScalarVisibilityOff();

  vtkNew<vtkActor> booleanOperationActor;
  booleanOperationActor->SetMapper(booleanOperationMapper);

  vtkNew<vtkRenderer> renderer;
  renderer->AddActor(booleanOperationActor);
  renderer->AddActor(input2Actor);
  renderer->AddActor(input1Actor);
  renderer->SetBackground(colors->GetColor3d("Silver").GetData());
  vtkNew<vtkRenderWindow> renderWindow;
  renderWindow->AddRenderer(renderer);
  renderWindow->SetSize(640, 480);
  renderWindow->SetWindowName("BooleanOperationPolyDataFilter");

  vtkNew<vtkRenderWindowInteractor> renWinInteractor;
  renWinInteractor->SetRenderWindow(renderWindow);

  renderWindow->Render();
  renWinInteractor->Start();

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
