Modifying thickness values with the Property Calculator

The thickness map that you create will hold the property Thickness, which is the interpolated result of the thicknesses derived from the surface-to-surface or surface-to-marker calculations. By changing any of the input parameters you can regenerate your thickness map, allowing you to make adjustments to the thickness distribution.

You can however also do modifications on the thickness properties directly, and even prior to interpolation. The thickness properties that are generated are accessible for the Property Calculator.

If you generated the thickness map on the combination surface-to-surface, you may have two properties on your thickness map: the final output Thickness, which resembles the seamless, interpolated result. The other property is the intermediate thickness, Thickness (Input), which is the thickness actually calculated from you input data. Both of these properties are accessible to the property calculator.

Things you can adjust with the property calculator:

  • Remove outlier values by replacing values outside a certain range by NULL values, or absolute values.
  • Smooth the thickness map by applying a filter to it.
  • Imported thicknesses from other sources can be used after mapping them to a thickness map using the property extraction functions of the property calculator. Most property extraction options allow you to e.g. do a vertical projection, which is favorable for most situations.
