Mehtod for Estimating Surface Normals?

Hi, I want to know more about how the Normals\Compute function works in CloudCompare. Is there any paper that explains how the method works, and maybe some examples to help understand it?

I don't believe there's any paper (or maybe my PhD manuscript, but it's in French sadly...).

You can refer to https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... %5CCompute

Or https://pointclouds.org/documentation/t ... ation.html which shares same common principles (especially the PCA part when the 'plane' mode is chosen in CloudCompare)
