in_element_aabb

in_element_aabb(queries, V, F)

Find which triangle or tet a set of query points lay on

Given a set of query points and a triangle or tetrahedral mesh, construct an AABB data structure to learn which specific mesh elements each query point is in.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
queries numpy double array

Matrix of query point coordinates

 required
V (n,d) numpy array

vertex list of a triangle mesh

 required
F (m,3) or (m,4) numpy int array

face/tet index list of a triangle/tet mesh

 required

Returns:

Name Type Description
I numpy int array

Vector of indeces into F of the elements that contain each query point (-1 means no containing element).

Notes

Examples:

V,F = gpytoolbox.regular_square_mesh(23)
num_samples = 100
queries = np.random.rand(num_samples,3)
I = in_element_aabb(queries,V,F)
