surfacemw
Surfacemw is a term used in computational geometry and computer graphics to denote a framework and set of software tools for computing and analyzing the mean width of 3D surfaces. The mean width is a scalar descriptor that captures the size of a body by averaging its width in all directions, and is invariant under rotation.
Surfacemw provides data-structure-agnostic methods for triangulated meshes, point clouds, and voxelized surfaces. It defines a direction
Implementation and usage: It is implemented as a library with a modular API. The core is written
Applications and limitations: Surfacemw is used in shape analysis, quality control in manufacturing, morphometrics in biology,
