1. A method for detecting regions of high curvature on a curve, comprising:
receiving a curve function;
receiving an indication of a predetermined angle on the curve function;
automatically arc length parameterizing the curve function;
automatically computing local average curvature over the arc length parameterized curve function;
automatically indicating one or more regions where the local average curvature turns at least the predetermined angle over a given interval; and
outputting the indicated regions.
