Tortuosity computation
3D Visual of the propagation map through the plug porosity network.
Visual of the 2D tortuosity python macro in IPSDK Explorer.
This script computes the distance map from the porosity network within a geologic plug using seeds placed on a face border. This is a very common application in geology. However, dataset sizes are often massive, making computation time potentially prohibitive.
In this application, IPSDK provides the capability to compute this propagation and tortuosity very efficiently using a seeded distance map. The end-user only needs to specify the propagation axis and direction.
In this case Tortuosity = Shortest path / Thickness of the sample = 1.57
The downloadable archive provides macros for both 2D and 3D tortuosity calculation.
The proposed script can be imported into IPSDK Explorer in the form of a macro. The new command will then be directly available in the Macro group.
