tb_estimate_alpha — 2D typed op

Data kinds: pointsfeature

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "tb_estimate_alpha", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

*No figure: this op takes points as input. A Studio program starting from an image cannot reach that type — see the runnable examples below for how it is used.*

Usage

Returns a recommended alpha based on the scale of the point cloud (based on the median nearest-neighbor distance).

> The detailed description below is the original text — the summary and the headings are translated.

各点の最近傍距離の中央値 `m` を求め、半径しきい値 1/alpha ≈ 2m(隣接間隔の約 2 倍まで

許す)となるよう `alpha = 1/(2m)` を返す。これで表面付近の素性の良い四面体は残しつつ、

大きく間延びした四面体(=凹み・外側)を切り落とせる。重複点は最近傍 0 になるため正の距離のみ使う。

Parameters

----------

points : array_like (N,3)

Returns

-------

alpha : float

正の有限値。
