Documentation/Labs/Surface Toolbox update

Overview

As part of the SALT project we would like to revamp some of the existing functionality in MeshMath into the SurfaceToolbox. We will be hiring a summer intern to work on this over a couple of months this summer.

Team

• JC Fillon-Robin
• Bea Paniagua
• Jared Vicory
• Andras Lasso
• TBD engineer

Definitions

• KWMeshVisu: Legacy mesh viewer from the Styner Lab.
• Types of Mesh Operations:
  • PairWise Mesh
  • Group Mesh
  • Single Mesh
  • MeshToVolume
  • MeshScalar to Mesh
  • MeshScalar to MeshScalar

Initial discussions

We will be potentially implementing individual CLIs for each functionality in MeshMath, and those will be plugged into the Surface Toolbox.

Current MeshMath functionality

subtract: "Subtract mesh from inputmesh, write a KWMeshVisu readable text file"

• Type: PairWiseMesh
• To-do: NOT KEEP. This functionality is currently available through ModelToModelDistance

magnitude: "Magnitude of the input metaArray file (mvh/mva) and writes a KWMeshVisu readable file"

• Type: ?
• To-do: NOT KEEP. It seems this is very specific to a certain application

scaleMVA: "Scales the input metaArray file (mvh/mva) and writes a KWMeshVisu readable file"

• Type: ?
• To-do: NOT KEEP. It seems this is very specific to a certain application

scaleMesh : "Scales the input mesh file"

• Type: SingleMesh
• To-do: KEEP.
