Smoothing

Smooth the surface of segments for better quality models.

• The Smoothing tool allows users to refine the surface of segments by applying various smoothing methods, which helps in creating more accurate and aesthetically pleasing models.

Steps:

• Choose the Smoothing tool from the tools panel.
• Select the smoothing method from the dropdown menu.
• Specify the kernel size in millimeters.
• Drag on specified region(drag will not work on joint smoothing) or Apply to perform the smoothing operation.

Additional Information

Smoothing Method

• Choose from different smoothing methods based on the desired outcome:
  • Median: Reduces noise while preserving edges.
  • Opening (remove extrusions): Removes small extrusions and smoothens the segment surface.
  • Closing (fill holes): Fills small holes and gaps in the segment.
  • Gaussian: Applies a Gaussian blur to smooth the segment.
  • Joint smoothing: Smoothens the segment while preserving anatomical boundaries.

Kernel Size

• Enter the desired kernel size in the text box provided. The actual size in pixels will be displayed below the input box.

Brush Shape

• Circle, Square, and Lasso are the main types of brush shapes you can choose from.

Brush Size

• This option is used to change the diameter (e.g., Circle) or area (e.g., Square) for a brush shape. It is not available for Lasso.

Edit in 3D

• If enabled, it will allow editing in the 3D view. For Lasso, it is enabled by default.

Sphere Brush

• This option is only available for the Circle brush shape. If enabled, a 3D spherical brush is used rather than a 2D circular brush.
