Abstract: We consider a surface embedded in the Euclidean 3-space and fix a tangential vector v at a given point p on the surface. We first review the history of the formula obtained by Mannheim, d'Ocagne and Koenderink, which asserts that the Gaussian curvature of the surface at p can be obtained if one knows "the normal curvature at p with respect to v" and "the curvature at p of the contour line Γ of the surface" with respect to the orthogonal projection induced by v. However, this formula breaks down when v is an asymptotic direction. In such cases, we present analogues of the formula that involve an invariant associated with cusp singularities of Γ.
