How to convolve a sphere with a shere in 3D and read the surface

3 views (last 30 days)
I have two spheres A and B, with radius 5 and 10, that are:
theta=linspace(0,2*pi,40); phi=linspace(0,pi,40); [theta,phi]=meshgrid(theta,phi); radius=5; % radius 10 x=radius*sin(phi).*cos(theta); y=radius*sin(phi).*sin(theta); z=radius*cos(phi); mesh(x,y,z)
Everything outside the spheres is 0, and inside is 1.
*Q1 How do I convolve A with B? *
*Q2 How do I read the surface of B (values in the resultant on the coordinates as that of B), after convolution. *
Thanks

Make images of A and B (rather than mesh plots) and use CONVN (or fftn if it's better to do fft based convolution) to convolve them.

Use INTERPN to interpolate the convolution result at the points you want.
