NormFet software can take a point cloud data possibly contaminated with noise and then compute the normals and feature sizes at the sample points. The output is a point cloud equipped with normals and feature sizes that can be fed into other software that need such information such asAMLS for surface reconstruction. It is important to note that, by default, normals are estimated only at a subset but sufficiently many of points which is alright for AMLS. Feature sizes are estimated at all points. The software is based on the theory developed in the paper given below.
