The centerlines play an important rule in defining the qualitative and quantitative behavior features and their evolutions in the field of plume study. The skeleton is a thinned version of the original object, much like the skeleton of a human figure. Centerlines are computed from these scattered skeletal points using appropriate averaging, connecting and smoothing techniques. Skeletonization Skeleton rendered as scattered points for R032 dataset. Centerline Extraction Centerline for R032.
Numbers shown above the arrows are depths above the bottom.
The second row shows centerline for each object. Skeletonization Skeleton rendered as scattered points for the 32nd frame of the simulation dataset. Centerline Extraction Centerline. Comparison of Simulation and Experimental Datasets Comparison of these particular datasets focuses on the plume stream behavior. The bending of the plume stream by the ambient ocean current is observed in both.
