Estimation of Local Differential PropertiesMarc Pouget and Frédéric Cazals | |||

For a surface discretized as a point cloud or a mesh, it
is desirable to estimate pointwise differential quantities. More
precisely, first order properties correspond to the normal or the
tangent plane; second order properties provide the principal
curvatures and directions, third order properties provide the
directional derivatives of the principal curvatures along the
curvature lines, etc. This package allows the estimation of local
differential quantities of a surface from a point sample.
