Filtering Utility

The filtering utility is used to separate short and long wavelength components of the surface.  There are two filter types available: spline and Gaussian.

Resampling Utility

The resampling utility allows you to change the number of rows and columns in your data set.

Form Removal Utility

The form removal utility is used to remove the nominal shape of the surface from the surface texture.

Spatial Filter Utility

The spatial filters work by applying a convolution matrix to the surface data.

FFT Filtering Utility

The FFT filtering utility allows the separation of wavelength components of a surface through the direct application of the fast Fourier transform algorithm.

Thresholding Utility

The thresholding utility is used to clip the surface to a specific height or heights.

Non-Measured Samples Utility

The non-measured samples utility is used to fill in non-measured samples in a surface.

Surface Comparison Utility

The surface comparison utility can be used to mathematically compare two surfaces by adding or subtracting on surface from another.  This feature is commonly used to compute the difference between two surfaces in a before and after type analysis.

Surface Rotator Utility

The surface rotator utility is used to rotate the surface around it's center point location.
