Most of these approaches were applied on singular mineral flat surfaces, or had big uncertainties!
Background and Literature review
In the past 3 decades, different definitions of wettability and contact angle measurements have been proposed and applied in the literature:

Objectives
• Develop a method to measure contact angle (θ) in Oil/Brine system.
• As more accuracy, this computational process outputs a list of θ values (range), that corresponds to each invaded pore-elements (pores and throats).
• The list of computed angles at each invaded pore-element, rather than single value for the whole 3D-image, are implemented as an input to perform pore-network 2-phase flow simulation.

Contact line and surface extraction
Slide 12
In order to estimate nw and n|w, we need to extracting from the segmented image the following:
• Contact lines• Oil/brine interface• Solid surface
A). The binary volume and its zero-isoline. B) zer-isosurface of binary volume (Lempitsky, 2010).
Aliasing issue!

Smoothing the extracted surfaces
Slide 14
This aliasing problem distracts tracing the required two vectors along the solid wall of the rock and the oil-brine interface, which, may lead to incorrect angle measurements (Andrew et al., 2014).
In this study, these methods are optimized in details to analyze the impact of extracting smooth surfaces on the
roughness of rock surfaces and oil-brine interfaces
• Gaussian pre-filtering
• Minimal area seperating surfaces
(Gibson, 1998)
• Higher order smoothing method
(Lempitsky, 2010)
