13.3 Methodology
Our methodology is divided into six steps (Fig. 13.3 ). The process begins
describing how the data is acquired by the Caliper tool. After this, the data is
converted into a specific data structure. The third step consists on the calculations
necessary for the geometric consistency, and on the fourth step some optimization
are done, which means that we try to send to the next step only the necessary
vertexes. To finish the process the user can make the analysis with the tool
information and finally obtain useful knowledge. A more detailed explanation is
described in the following subsections. This workflow is related to the usage
process of the proposed system.
