Sea Floor Mesh Extraction

Mesh extraction of Sea Floor.

Image Processing

A simple average filter was applied to the cube. Initial mesh contained approx 1.4M triangles.

Mesh optimization

The surface was optimized with the following key constraints:

  1. Vertical distance from the underlying surface was limited to 1m.
  2. Horizontal distance from the underlying surface was limited to 10m.
  3. Edge length was limited to 600m.

The fully automatic optimization reduced mesh to 34K triangles and the quality was deemed sufficient for FEM computations.
