a 2D manifold has two principal curvatures, usually called k1 and k2, which are the curvature in the direction of maximum curvature and minimum curvature (they are also the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Hessian of the surface if it is expressed as a function over the tangent bundle). The Gaussian (K) and mean (H) curvatures are then:
K = k1*k2
H = (k1+k2)/2

Thanks Dr. Greve. That works, but both white.K and white.H are giving
me very different output values.

For example, for first few subjects I get:
-0.00237    -0.00450    -0.00204     0.00113 -0.00228    -0.00958   
-0.00314     0.00180    -0.00452 if I use white.K
-0.05809   -0.05799    -0.06457    -0.07254 -0.07208    -0.05023   
-0.06044    -0.09338    -0.09178 if I use white.H

Can you please tell me the difference between white.K and white.H
conceptually and mathematically?

    something like --meas white.K or white.H
