Session/Category Title: Byte-Size Geometry; Mathematical Techniques
Abstract:
We introduce a simple yet effective method for total curvature estimation that is easy to integrate within existing libraries for mesh processing and point cloud processing. Our results demonstrate that this method surpasses the accuracy of standard implementations that estimate the shape operator.
