Ellipsoid

class Ellipsoid(radii, center, orientations)

Parametrize a point cloud as ellipsoid.

Methods

Ellipsoid.compute_normal(points)	Compute the normal vector at a given point on the ellipsoid surface.
Ellipsoid.fit(positions)	Fit an ellipsoid to a set of 3D points.
Ellipsoid.points_per_sampling(sampling_density)	Computes the apporximate number of random samples required to achieve a given sampling_density.
Ellipsoid.sample(n_samples[, radii, center, ...])	Samples points from the surface of an ellisoid.
