 \subsubsection Surface_mesh_segmentationPostprocessing Postprocessing on Raw SDF Values
 After having calculated the raw SDF value for each facet, several post-processing steps are applied.

 The main reason for not assigning 0 to facets with no SDF values is that it can obstruct log-normalization process which takes place at the beginning of `segment_from_sdf_values()`.
