Conformal method for quantitative shape extraction: Performance evaluation

Abstract

We evaluate our developed conformal method for quantitative shape extraction from unorganized 3D oriented point clouds. The conformal method has been tested previously on real, noisy, 3D data. Here we focus on the empirical evaluation of its performance on synthetic, ground truth data, and comparisons with other methods for quantitative extraction of mean and Gauss curvatures presented in the literature.
