How to go about doing this for a triangular mesh ? I want to find out
the principal radii of curvature for every triangular surface. I have
the following information -

1. Vertex coordinates v0, v1, v2.
2. Triangle normal.
3. Every vertex stores a list of all triangles that share it.
4. Normal at every vertex.
5. Edge list which stores the vertex end points, triangle faces shared
by edge.

See the section "Estimate principal curvatures at the vertices of a
triangle mesh".
