Surface Triangulation
Create a Surface Triangulation for the resulting structure by creating a Surface Mesh. This feature is only available if you have a MeshGeo license, either leased or purchased.
The structure is segmented into two phases, and the isosurface wraps around the high gray values, which are assigned to Material ID 01. The isosurface normal points into the pore space, which is assigned to Material ID 00.
Segment the gray value image using either an Automatic Threshold or a manually entered Threshold. If the Automatic Threshold is enabled, the Otsu method is used to threshold the image.
If a mesh is already in memory when Add to current mesh is selected, the new mesh is added to it. Then, multiple meshes can be edited together and saved to a single file.
Checking the Coarsen during creation box reduces the number of triangles in the generated surface mesh.
Three different Coarsening Modes are provided coarsening algorithm's stopping criteria:
The coarsening algorithm reduces the number of triangles in the generated mesh by merging short edges into longer edges. Select the Adaptive box to use error quadrics based on the adaptive coarsening mode.
See the MeshGeo user guide for a detailed description and examples of the triangulation parameters.
Click Surface Triangulation to start the process. Once the triangulation is complete, the resulting mesh will be displayed in the GUI visualization area.
Know how! You can Save your current settings for this tool as Start-Up Settings . The next time you process an image, these settings will be automatically loaded and filled into the parameter fields. You can also load the Built-In Default Settings available in GeoDict. If you change any settings and want to revert to your saved start-up settings, click the corresponding button to Load the Start-Up Settings . |
