fit_plane_3d — 3D geometry op

Data kinds: pointsprimitive

Call: import match3d; match3d.fit_plane_3d(points) (or ops3d.get("fit_plane_3d"))

Usage

Point set → a least-squares plane (through the centroid, normal = the smallest principal axis, plus the RMS residual). Returns (point, normal, resid).

• 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.
