skimage2.measure.mesh_surface_area

skimage2.measure.mesh_surface_area(verts, faces)

Compute surface area, given vertices and triangular faces.

Parameters:

verts(V, 3) array of floats

Array containing coordinates for V unique mesh vertices.

faces(F, 3) array of ints

List of length-3 lists of integers, referencing vertex coordinates as provided in verts.

Returns:

areafloat

Surface area of mesh. Units now [coordinate units] ** 2.

Notes

The arguments expected by this function are the first two outputs from skimage.measure.marching_cubes. For unit correct output, ensure correct spacing was passed to skimage.measure.marching_cubes.

This algorithm works properly only if the faces provided are all triangles.
