find_buried_surface

find buried regions on a polygon surface based on curvature radius

find_buried_surface src_polygons dest_polygons radius_of_curvature block_size

DESCRIPTION

find_buried_surface identifies buried (hidden) regions on a polygon surface. A surface region is considered buried if it is occluded by surrounding geometry based on the specified radius of curvature. The block_size parameter controls the spatial resolution of the search. The result is written to the destination polygon file.

OPTIONS

This tool uses positional arguments only. There are no named options.

src_polygons
The input polygon surface object file.
dest_polygons
The output polygon surface object file with buried regions identified.
radius_of_curvature
The curvature radius used to determine what constitutes a buried region.
block_size
The block size controlling the spatial resolution of the search.
