`lambda` is a reserved keyword in python and causes mypy to complain.

The algorithm is described in Hoppe et al., "Surface Reconstruction from Unorganized Points", 1992.

Args:
k (int): Number of neighbors to use for tangent plane estimation.
lambda (float): A non-negative real parameter that influences the distance
lambda_penalty (float): A non-negative real parameter that influences the distance
metric used to identify the true neighbors of a point in complex
geometries. It penalizes the distance between a point and the tangent
plane defined by the reference point and its normal vector, helping to

Example:
We use Bunny point cloud to compute its normals and orient them consistently.
The initial reconstruction adheres to Hoppe's algorithm (raw), whereas the
second reconstruction utilises the lambda and cos_alpha_tol parameters.
second reconstruction utilises the lambda_penalty and cos_alpha_tol parameters.
Due to the high density of the Bunny point cloud available in Open3D a larger
value of the parameter k is employed to test the algorithm. Usually you do
not have at disposal such a refined point clouds, thus you cannot find a
