Karambola
3D Minkowski Tensor Package
This page is no longer maintained. Please visit www.morphometry.org for the current version.
Karambola is a program able to calculate the Minkowski Tensors of three-dimensional bodies and surfaces.
Minkowski Tensors can be calculated globally, or for subsets (called “labels”). The program takes its input in the form of triangulated surfaces. A more detailed description of the program is given in the included documentation, and in the papers referenced below.
Karambola is written in plain ISO C++ and only needs the GNU Scientific Library to compile. It is available as Free Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License, Version 3 or later.
