ARC {molaR}

Calculate several measures of Area Relative Curvature

Description

A function that calculates the average slope over a tooth or some other 3D surface

Usage

ARC(plyFile, BoundaryDiscard = "Vertex", Range = c(0.01, 0.99))

Arguments

plyFile

An object of classes 'mesh3d' and 'shape3d' with calculated normals

BoundaryDiscard

String indicating how to handle the exclusion of boundary faces. Default of Vertex excludes faces which have at least 1 vertex on the boundary

Range

A pair of values which set lower and upper outlier exclusions.

Details

The function requires an object created by reading in a ply file.

This function calculates Area Relative Curvature, as described by Guy et al. (2013)

Examples

arc_output <- ARC(Tooth)
summary(arc_output)
