projectPointToSurface Method

Find the closest point of the (patch of the) ellipsoid.

  • In general there are multiple points where a space point projects onto an ellipse.
  • This searches for only one point, using heuristics which are reliable for points close to the surface but not for points distant from highly skewed ellipsoid
