estimate_oriented_normals — 3D normals_orient op

Data kinds: pointsnormals

Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.estimate_oriented_normals(points, k: 'int' = 20, seed_dir=None) -> 'np.ndarray' (to call the implementation directly, import normals_orient; normals_orient.estimate_oriented_normals(points, k: 'int' = 20, seed_dir=None) -> 'np.ndarray'; from the registry, ops3d.get("estimate_oriented_normals"))

Usage

PCA normal estimation combined with Hoppe's global orientation. → oriented unit normals (N,3).

:func:estimate_normals(向き未定)→ :func:orient_normals(MST 伝播)を通す。

閉曲面なら全点外向き、平面なら全点同一半球にそろう。得た法線を

`curvature3d.shape_index` に渡すと凹/凸符号が正しく出る。

Args:

points: (N,3) の点群。

k: PCA 近傍数と kNN グラフ近傍数(共通)。

seed_dir: 大域基準向き (3,)。None なら重心から外向き。

Returns:

(N,3) の大域一貫・向き付き単位法線。
