Abstract: | Surface reconstruction from large unorganized data sets is very challenging, especially if the data present undesired holes. This is usually the case when the data come from laser scanner 3D acquisitions or if they represent damaged objects to be restored. An attractive field of research focuses on situations in which these holes are too geometrically and topologically complex to fill using triangulation algorithms. In this work a local approach to surface reconstruction from point-clouds based on positive definite Radial Basis Functions (RBF) is presented that progressively fills the holes by expanding the neighbouring information. The method is based on the algorithm introduced in [7] which has been successfully tested for the smooth multivariate interpolation of large scattered data sets. The local nature of the algorithm allows for real time handling of large amounts of data, since the computation is limited to suitable small areas, thus avoiding the critical efficiency problem involved in RBF multivariate interpolation. Several tests on simulated and real data sets demonstrate the efficiency and the quality of the reconstructions obtained using the proposed algorithm.AMS subject classification 65D17, 65D05, 65Y20 |
