mean_curvature — 3D curvature op

• Data kinds: points → signal

• Call: import curvature3d; curvature3d.mean_curvature(points, k=25, normals=None) (or ops3d.get("mean_curvature"))

Usage

Mean curvature H = (k1+k2)/2. → (N,). A quantity that depends on the orientation.

• 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.
