vol_wall_thickness — 3D probe op

Data kinds: voxelsignal

Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.vol_wall_thickness(vol, p0, p1, sigma=1.0, threshold=0.1, spacing=None) (to call the implementation directly, import volprobe; volprobe.vol_wall_thickness(vol, p0, p1, sigma=1.0, threshold=0.1, spacing=None); from the registry, ops3d.get("vol_wall_thickness"))

Return value through the ledger: fullseye.ledger.vol_wall_thickness(...) returns **only the declared out type signal** (the underlying function also returns auxiliary values). When you need what was dropped, use fullseye.ledger.vol_wall_thickness.raw(...) or call volprobe.vol_wall_thickness directly.

Usage

Wall thicknesses along the probe `p0 -> p1` — the industrial-CT

measurement itself.

Runs :func:vol_edge_probe (all polarities) and pairs consecutive

opposite-polarity edges *rising -> falling* in probe order: each pair is

one traversal of bright material (entry surface -> exit surface), and its

thickness is the difference of the two edges' `t_mm` (physical units —

mm with a spacing, voxels without). A probe crossing both walls of a pipe

therefore yields two thicknesses.

Edges that do not complete a rising -> falling pair (a probe starting or

ending inside material, consecutive same-polarity edges) are ignored,

not paired creatively — the count of returned thicknesses can be smaller

than `len(edges) // 2`. Dark walls on a bright background need an

inverted volume (the pairing convention is bright material).

Returns a list of float thicknesses, in probe order (possibly empty).

Raises `ValueError` on the same malformed inputs as

:func:vol_edge_probe.
