TY - RPRT T1 - Discrete Curvature Estimators: an Experimental Evaluation Y1 - 2011 A1 - Mesmoudi,M. M. A1 - De Floriani, Leila A1 - Magillo,P. AB - In this paper, we consider a surface, embedded in 3D space, which is discretely approximatedas triangle mesh. We define a method for estimating mean and Gaussian curvatures of such a discrete surface, based on simulating the analytic definition of mean and Gaussian curvatures in the continuum. Such method leads to what we call mean and Gaussian Ccurvatures. We present experiments evaluating such curvatures.
