Written Exercise 3: Feature Point Detection

Due on Tues, Nov 16 at 11:59PM

The pictures below show a "feature-like" measure F(V) for every vertext V of the mesh M (vertices shown in darkest red have F(V)=1 and are very "feature-like," vertices shown in lightest gray have F(V)=0 and are not "feature-like," and vertices shown in shades of pink are in-between).

In one page or less, please propose a computational method or mathematical formula for predicting this F(V) based purely on geometric analysis of M. That is, given only a mesh M, your method should predict the F(V) shown in these pictures for every vertex V of M as closely as possible. Please include pseudo-code and/or mathematical formulas as appropriate.
