SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SURFACE RECONSTRUCTION FROM AN UNSTRUCTURED POINT SET

摘要

A method of modeling a surface from a plurality of geometry points (100) representing an object generally includes binning (110) the plurality of geometry points (100) into an n-dimensional array of cells and associating a binary value (120) with each cell; applying a dilation algorithm to the binned plurality of geometry points (100) to output a dilated binary representation of the plurality of geometry points; applying an erosion algorithm to the dilated binary representation of the plurality of geometry points to output a segmented volume; and applying a surface construction algorithm to the segmented volume to form a surface model of the object (150).
