estimate_oriented_normals — 3D normals_orient op

Data kinds: pointsnormals

Call: import normals_orient; normals_orient.estimate_oriented_normals(points, k: 'int' = 20, seed_dir=None) -> 'np.ndarray' (or ops3d.get("estimate_oriented_normals"))

Usage

PCA normal estimation combined with Hoppe's global orientation. → oriented unit normals (N,3).
