plyFile


Function will sort through all the vertices of the surface and find the ones which are on the edge. This will be needed for identifying which should be masked and not inlcuded in the calculation of the final DNE value.


Surface topography calculations of Dirichlet's normal energy,
relief index, surface slope, and orientation patch count for teeth using scans of
enamel caps.
Importantly, for the relief index and orientation patch count calculations to
work, the scanned tooth files must be oriented with the occlusal plane parallel
to the x and y axes, and perpendicular to the z axis. The files should also be
simplified, and smoothed in some other software prior to uploading into R.
