Extrema of a PointCloud surface

8 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi,
I have a set of data points in 3D space (a matrix of (n x 3), in which each row corresponds to a point) that are extracted from a stl file and all together describe an irregular surface. I want to find the extrema of this surface. Is there anyway to do this in matlab? Attached is a sample file.
I know using the approach described in the following post we can find the extrema but the problem is that my data points are not continous and I cannot use meshgrid.
Thanks.

Can you calculate normal vector of each face? Find vector v = [0 0 1]

Thanks Darova,
I think I should be able o do that. However, it is not very easy to do so.
You mean I should search for those locations that has minimum variations in the direction of the normal vector?
