create_mahalanobis

compute Mahalanobis distance between a sample and a mean surface

create_mahalanobis avg.obj variance.txt sample.obj output.txt

DESCRIPTION

create_mahalanobis computes the Mahalanobis distance between a sample surface and a mean (average) surface with known variance. The mean surface is provided as an object file, the per-vertex variance is read from a text file, and the sample surface is another object file. The resulting per-vertex Mahalanobis distances are written to the output text file.

OPTIONS

This tool uses positional arguments only. There are no named options.

avg.obj
The mean (average) surface object file.
variance.txt
A text file containing per-vertex variance values.
sample.obj
The sample surface object file to compare against the mean.
output.txt
The output text file containing per-vertex Mahalanobis distances.
