Mesh generation and optimization from digital rock fractures based on neural style transfer

The complex geometric features of subsurface fractures at different scales makes mesh generation challenging and/or expensive. In this paper, we make use of neural style transfer (NST), a machine learning technique, to generate mesh from rock fracture images. In this new approach, we use digital roc...
