| Jul 19, 2010 at 20:09 | comment | added | Deane Yang | Are you looking for an intrinsic invariant or one that might depend on the embedding into $R^3$? | |

| Jul 19, 2010 at 19:47 | comment | added | DoubleJay | You might want to look into something called discrete differential geometry, used mainly for computer graphics. It doesn't provide a formula, but it could help you measure your surface. In general, something like bregman divergence from a sphere would be good, I think. (Though I don't know exactly how you'd measure it). | |
