MeshValmet is an open-source software tool used to measure the distance between two 3D triangle meshes. Scientists and engineers use it to compare 3D shapes and find errors or changes between them. It is widely used in medical research, like tracking changes in brain structures over time. Main Features
Distance Measurement: It calculates the surface-to-surface distance between a source mesh and a target mesh.
Adjustable Sampling: You can choose fine sampling for high accuracy, or sparse sampling to get faster results.
Statistical Data: The tool calculates shapes’ differences using math metrics like mean distance, root mean square (RMS) distance, and Hausdorff distance.
3D Visualization: It uses a graphic library called VTK to build color-coded visual charts that show exactly where two shapes differ. Technical Details Language: The software is written mostly in C++.
License: It is completely free and shared under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Origin: It was developed at the Neuro Image Research and Analysis Laboratories (NIRAL) and is hosted on the NITRC Projects Platform. If you are working on a specific project, let me know: What kinds of 3D files (like STL or OBJ) you are comparing If you need help calculating the Hausdorff distance If you are looking for installation instructions I can give you the exact steps you need!
