Voxelization

Added in version 5.0.

voxelize module provides functions for voxelizing NURBS volumes. voxelize() also supports multi-threaded operations via multiporcessing module.

Function Reference

geomdl.voxelize.save_voxel_grid(voxel_grid, file_name)

Saves binary voxel grid as a binary file.

The binary file is structured in little-endian unsigned int format.

Parameters:

  • voxel_grid (list, tuple) – binary voxel grid

  • file_name (str) – file name to save

geomdl.voxelize.voxelize(obj, **kwargs)

Generates binary voxel representation of the surfaces and volumes.

Keyword Arguments:

  • grid_size: size of the voxel grid. Default: (8, 8, 8)

  • padding: voxel padding for in-outs finding. Default: 10e-8

  • use_cubes: use cube voxels instead of cuboid ones. Default: False

  • num_procs: number of concurrent processes for voxelization. Default: 1

Parameters:

obj (abstract.Surface or abstract.Volume) – input surface(s) or volume(s)

Returns:

voxel grid and filled information

Return type:

tuple
