describe — 3D shape_descriptor op

• Data kinds: points → descriptor

• Call: import descriptors3d; descriptors3d.describe(points, bins: 'int' = 64, seed: 'int' = 0) -> 'np.ndarray' (or ops3d.get("describe"))

Usage

A global shape descriptor concatenating D2 + A3 + extent.

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)

• denoise_evolution — py -3.11 examples_3d/denoise_evolution.py

• shape_desc_pose — py -3.11 examples_3d/shape_desc_pose.py

• shape_retrieval — py -3.11 examples_3d/shape_retrieval.py
