MeshAgreement (version 0.1.4)

get_mesh_agree: Agreement measures for pairs from a list of 3D meshes

Description

Calculates distance-based as well as volume-overlap-based agreement measures in each possible pairwise comparison for a list of 3D meshes.

Usage

get_mesh_agree(x, boov=FALSE, do_ui=FALSE, chop=TRUE, ...)

Value

data.frame with these variables

mesh_1

Name of the first mesh of the pair.

mesh_2

Name of the second mesh of the pair.

group

The grouping variable indicating which pairs belong to the same structure.

vol_1

Volume of the first mesh of the pair.

vol_2

Volume of the second mesh of the pair.

vol_u

Volume of the union.

vol_i

Volume of the intersection.

DCOM

Euclidean distance between the respective center of mass of both meshes.

HD_max

Hausdorff distance - worst case, maximum of both directed Hausdorff distances.

HD_avg

Hausdorff distance - average, arithmetic mean of both directed Hausdorff distancess.

ASD

Average symmetric surface distance.

RMSD

Root mean squared symmetric surface distance.

JSC

Jaccard similarity coefficient.

DSC

Dice similarity coefficient.

Arguments

x

list of observer/mesh objects as generated by read_mesh.

boov

logical. Use package MeshesUnion / MeshesIntersection instead of the corresponding cgalMesh methods for calculating union/intersection volumes. Depending on the meshes, this may have better performance.

do_ui

logical. Calculate volume-overlap-based measures from union/intersection volumes. More time intensive than distance-based measures.

chop

logical. Delete components from the output of vcgMetro that will not be used later on.

...

Options passed to vcgMetro.

Details

Currently, no mesh can be designated gold standard. get_mesh_agree_pair calculates the agreement for a single pair of meshes. get_mesh_metro calculates the distances. get_mesh_ui calculates the mesh union and intersection. For boov=TRUE, package Boov has to be installed separately.
