estimate_alpha — 3D reconstruct op

• Data kinds: points → measurement

• Call: import recon3d; recon3d.estimate_alpha(points) (or ops3d.get("estimate_alpha"))

Usage

Return a recommended alpha from the point set's scale (based on the median nearest-neighbour distance).

References (sample data, literature)

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.
