This function provides an implementation of the algorithm propose by "M Pinheiro, X Ma, MJ Fagan, GT McIntyre, P Lin, G Sivamurthy, PA Mossey - A 3D cephalometric protocol for the accurate quantification of the craniofacial symmetry and facial growth", published in May 2019 in the Journal of Biological Engineering.

This function uses pre-existing submission sources for the ICP method provided by Jakob Wilm and that can be found in:

And the stlTools provided by Pau Micó for STL input and output that can be found in:
