geometry/meshes/curvature-measures-icnc-3d.cpp

Computation of curvatures on a torus mesh, using interpolated corrected curvature measures (based on the theory of corrected normal currents).

./examples/geometry/meshes/curvature-measures-icnc-3d torus 20 20 0.5

outputs

Expected mean curvatures: min=0.25 max=0.625
Computed mean curvatures: min=0.264763 max=0.622318
Expected Gaussian curvatures: min=-0.5 max=0.25
Computed Gaussian curvatures: min=-0.470473 max=0.244636

It also produces several OBJ files to display curvature estimation results, example-cnc-H.obj and example-cnc-G.obj as well as the associated MTL file.

Interpolated corrected mean curvature measure, r=0	Interpolated corrected Gaussian curvature measure, r=0
Interpolated corrected mean curvature measure, r=0.5	Interpolated corrected Gaussian curvature measure, r=0.5

Note

Interpolated corected curvature measures can provide consistent results even on on bad sampling of smooth surfaces. A well known example is the Schwarz lantern. You may try the following line:

./examples/geometry/meshes/curvature-measures-icnc-3d lantern 20 20 0.5

outputs

Expected mean curvatures: min=0.25 max=0.25
Computed mean curvatures: min=0.25 max=0.25
Expected Gaussian curvatures: min=0 max=0
Computed Gaussian curvatures: min=0 max=0
