Function compute_centroid

pub fn compute_centroid<'a, T: BorrowedBuffer<'a>>(
    point_cloud: &'a T,
) -> Vector3<f64>

Computes the centroid for a given point cloud. The centroid is the point that has the same distance to all other points in the point cloud. Iterates over all points in the ‘point_cloud’.

Panics

If the point_cloud is empty
