Introduction

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

Original author: Dr. Meghan Driscoll
Modified and compacted/concised a complicated codebase by: Preetham Manjunatha

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.
