Principal Component Analysis
Returns an oriented bounding box aligned to a point set's edges — a minimum‑area rectangle for flat (planar) inputs and a minimum‑volume box for solids — together with the aligned plane and the box's 8 corner points. Unlike a plain covariance‑PCA, the box stays edge‑aligned even for cubes, squares, and other symmetric shapes.
