Curvature measure and visualization

Measures the shape properties of the object boundaries and displays the curvature.

Introduction

Measures the shape properties of the object boundaries and displays the curvature.

Thanks to Dr. Meghan Driscoll who kindly shared her code for academic purpose. If you use this code for visualization and other academic/research/any purposes.

Important note: This code uses parfor to speed up the things. If you do not have the Matlab parallel computing toolbox. Please make 'parfor' as 'for' in this function.

%%%%%%%% This code is way too slow! (curvature should not be in a for loop) %%%%%%%%% If I have time I will try to improve this. If anyone improves it, please share the modified version code with me.
