gaussian_curvature — 3D curvature op

• Data kinds: points → signal

• Call: import curvature3d; curvature3d.gaussian_curvature(points, k=25) (or ops3d.get("gaussian_curvature"))

Usage

Gaussian curvature K = k1·k2 (invariant to flipping the normal). → (N,).

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)

• curvature_grasp — py -3.11 examples_3d/curvature_grasp.py

• curvature_shape_index — py -3.11 examples_3d/curvature_shape_index.py

Ops the type connects to (they accept signal as input)
