In tlafarge/alphashape3d: Implementation of the 3D Alpha-Shape for the Reconstruction of 3D Sets from a Point Cloud

#' Computation of the 3D \eqn{\alpha}-shape
#'
#' Implementation in R of the \eqn{\alpha}-shape of a finite set of points in
#' the three-dimensional space. The \eqn{\alpha}-shape generalizes the convex
#' hull and allows to recover the shape of non-convex and even non-connected
#' sets in 3D, given a random sample of points taken into it. Besides the
#' computation of the \eqn{\alpha}-shape, this package provides users with
#' functions to compute the volume of the \eqn{\alpha}-shape, identify the
#' connected components and facilitate the three-dimensional graphical
#' visualization of the estimated set.
