Can Meshlab export the surface curvature of each point/vertex in a mesh?

I'm new to MeshLab and surface curvature. I'm trying to find/store the curvature of a specific vertex of a 3D mesh (obj). I know that Meshlab's filters - normal, curvature, orientation - functions can help to find the curvature range of a mesh, I've been searching but haven't found a way to find the curvature of a specific vertex in Meshlab. I would appreciate some advice on how to do that, thanks.

Solution

  • When you compute Gaussian or Mean curvatures, the values are stored as quality values in vertex. You can export the mesh to a format that support quality, for example Ply ascii
