Determining a mean camber line

Question

Fellow programmers,

I know this is a little outside your juridistiction, but I was wondering perhaps if you have time, if you could help me with one \"procedure\". Not i

Answer 1

Is the mean camber line the set of points equidistant from the upper line and the lower line? If that's the definition, it's different from Sanjay's, or at least not obviously-to-me the same.

The most direct way to compute that: cast many rays perpendicular to the upper line, and many rays perpendicular to the lower line, and see where the rays from above intersect the rays from below. The intersections with the nearest-to-equal distances approximate the mean camber line (as defined here); interpolate them, with the differences in distance affecting the weights.

But I'll bet the iterative method you pasted from comments is easier to code, and I guess would converge to the same curve.
