fit_sphere_3d — 3D geometry op

Data kinds: pointsprimitive

Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.fit_sphere_3d(points) (to call the implementation directly, import match3d; match3d.fit_sphere_3d(points); from the registry, ops3d.get("fit_sphere_3d"))

Usage

Point set → a least-squares sphere (algebraic fit). Returns (center, radius). For pipe and ball metrology.

`|p|² = 2c·p + (r² − |c|²)[2p, 1] の線形最小二乗(lstsq`)で解く代数フィット

(幾何距離の最小化ではないので、球の一部しか見えていない・ノイズが大きいと半径が偏る)。

`(N,3) で 4 点未満は ValueError。radiussqrt(max(s + |c|², 0))` で負は 0 に clamp。

点が同一平面上・共線だと `lstsq` の最小ノルム解が黙って返る(検証は無い。残差も返さないので

`|p − c| − r` で確かめる)。

幾何距離で追い込むなら本 op の結果を初期値にして非線形最小二乗、外れ値には `ransac_sphere`。

voxel からの検出は `hough_sphere_3d`。
