Disclosed is a method for generating a digital representation of a surface of an object from point data indicative of coordinates of points on the surface. The method comprises receiving a point data item indicative of coordinates of a point in a first one of a plurality of sub-volumes of a volume to be scanned; determining whether a first predetermined trigger condition is fulfilled for the first sub-volume; and if the first trigger condition is fulfilled, computing a local surface representation associated with the first sub-volume from received point data items associated with at least the first sub-volume; determining whether a second predetermined trigger condition is fulfilled; and if the second trigger condition is fulfilled, computing a surface representation of the surface of the object from a set of computed local surface representations associated with respective sub-volumes. |
