mesh_surface_area

skimage.measure.mesh_surface_area(verts, faces) [source]

Compute surface area, given vertices & triangular faces

Parameters:	verts : (V, 3) array of floats Array containing (x, y, z) 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:	area : float Surface area of mesh. Units now [coordinate units] ** 2.

Notes

The arguments expected by this function are the exact 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.
