Required schema metadata
These metadata MUST exist at the schema level.
neighborhood_size
- encoding: ASCII base-10 unsigned integer
How many nearest neighbors were used to calculate the tangent vector (referred to as k in literature).

Fields
These fields are defined in addition to those defined by any parent classes.
Required fields
These fields MUST exist in the file.
tangent_x, tangent_y, tangent_z
- data type: float64
- nullable: no
The normalised tangent vector of the neighborhood around the point in 3D, in the units given in the schema metadata.
Optional fields
These fields MAY exist in the file.
colinearity
- data type: float64
- nullable: no
A value between 0 and 1 representing how colinear the points in the neighborhood are (referred to as α / alpha in literature).
