title: "structpts-subsample: Orientation Data Spatial Reduction for 3D Geological Modelling"

abstract: >
  A Python library implementing seven spatial subsampling algorithms for
  structural orientation data (bedding, foliation) used in 3D geological
  modelling workflows. The engine reduces spatial clustering in point
  datasets while preserving the statistical character of orientations,
  using methods ranging from simple decimation to Kent-distribution-based
  spherical statistics and geologically-informed first-order subsampling.
  Includes corrections to known transcription errors in the published
  Kent distribution estimation algorithm (Leong and Carlile 1998;
  Carmichael and Ailleres 2016).
