mesh_to_points — 3D transform op

• Data kinds: mesh → points

• Call: import match3d; match3d.mesh_to_points(vertices, faces, samples=20000, seed=0) (or ops3d.get("mesh_to_points"))

Usage

Mesh (vertices + faces) → a surface point set (area-weighted uniform sampling). The mesh → point-cloud conversion.

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.

Runnable examples (verified samples that actually call this op)

• mesh_decimate — py -3.11 examples_3d/mesh_decimate.py
