zernike3d

Content

zernike3D contains routines to compute 3D Zernike polynomials and 3D Zernike moments on point clouds or triangular mesh surfaces. It can also compute basic rotational invariants.

It also contains 3 standalone programs:

Shape2Zernike

Shape2Zernike computes Zernike moments for triangular mesh surfaces given in OFF format.

Zernike2Shape

Zernike2Shape takes a set of 3D Zernike moments as computed by Shape2Zernike and builds the corresponding shape as a triangular mesh surface in OFF format.

MakeShape

MakeShape is a little tool to build shapes in OFF format.

Installation

To install the programs you need the cmake tool (see cmake.org) and a c++-11 compliant compiler to build it. If found it will use the c++ thread library for parallelization.

To install, first download the project and go to its root directory then execute the following commands:

1. To prepare the installation

   cmake -S src -B build

2. To build the project

   cmake --build build

3. To install the executables in directory myinstallpath (on linux or macOS you typically use $HOME or /usr/local as myinstallpath so the executables are in $HOME/bin or /usr/local/bin)

   cmake --install build --prefix myinstallpath

If you need to restart the installation simply remove the build directory and go to step 1
