The discretized pore space is systematically analyzed for
connectivity and geometry by inscribing into each voxel a maximum
sphere, and linking these spheres into objects that characterize pore
bodies and throats.
The volumetric and geometric information is processed
simultaneously, and no information is discarded.
The result does not depend on the starting point, therefore, the
image can be processed by parts
This algorithm is vastly superior to the various medial axis
algorithms |
