Distance Calculation
Applications
Profile cross-section deformation assessment
- evaluate change of cross-section
- Check cables for critical squeezing
- Find initial buckling of profiles
Evaluation of cable deformation may be used as HV damage prediction
Challenge
Different analysis tasks require different evaluations of distances. The animation above shows the euclidean distance between the skeleton and the skin normalized to its initial value. Here only the distance to the nearest neighbor is evaluated. However, the requirement for distance evaluation can become much more complex.
Solution
commodo offers a variety of methods
- nearest neighbor methods
- evaluation within a specified range
- ray triangle intersection algorithms in arbitrary direction for each point
in addition we offer
- spatial resampling to increase accuracy
- GPU support
