typed op• Data kinds: points → points
• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "tb_estimate_point_normals", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

*The figure is the actual output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output. Point clouds are drawn as a top-down scatter (brightness = z), 1-D series as a line plot, volumes as the maximum-intensity projection along z, videos as the middle frame, complex images as magnitude; return values that are not pictures are shown as the values themselves.*
Sweeping knob a (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):
▸ tb_estimate_point_normals: knob a sweep (docs site)
*Knob b does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*
Stages (the ops that come before → this op, left to right):
▸ tb_estimate_point_normals: stages (docs site)
On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):
▸ tb_estimate_point_normals: other inputs (docs site)
Point cloud (N,3) → unit normals (the smallest eigenvector of the local k-nearest-neighbor covariance = PCA).

FPFH/SHOT/点-面 ICP が要る法線を raw 点群から生成。向きの規約は 2 面:
viewpoint=None(既定)= 重心から外向き(閉じた物体の全周点群向け)/
viewpoint 指定 = 視点(センサ)向き(Hoppe 1992 / PCL 規約。単一視点スキャンの
可視面はセンサ側を向くのが物理的に正しい。pointcloud.estimate_normals と同規約)。
旧版(〜2026-08-30)は viewpoint 指定でも「視点から遠ざける」符号で、単一視点
スキャンという本来用途で全点が裏返っていた。返り値 normals (N,3)。
手順: `cKDTree で各点の k 近傍(自分自身を含む。k > N` なら N に切り詰め)を取り、
その共分散の最小固有ベクトルを法線にする。返り値 `(N,3)` float64 の単位ベクトル。
`viewpoint` は 3 次元の座標(センサ位置)。点数が 3 未満・近傍が同一直線上だと法線は
不定のまま返る(検証は無い)。`k` が小さいとノイズに弱く、大きいと角が丸まる。
後段: `icp_point2plane の dst_normals、render_shaded 用の法線、normals_to_egi`。
`pointcloud.estimate_normals(台帳 estimate_normals`)と同じ規約。
2-D 進化レジストリへ橋渡しした 3d の op `estimate_point_normals。実装は同じで、呼び出し規約だけ op(v, a, b) に合わせてある。a が k(既定 16)を振る。b` は未使用。

The examples below call the underlying ledger op estimate_point_normals. This bridge op is the same implementation adapted to the fn(v, a, b) convention, so the behaviour carries over unchanged (only the call form differs).
