Abstract

For mesh reconstruction problems of point cloud models which have similar topological structure, a rapid and efficient method is presented to reconstruct triangular mesh surface. Based on projections of point cloud slicing that correspond to template sectional curves, the method constructs topological relevant information among discrete points, which makes unorganized points ordering and builds up optimal approximated B-spline curve, resamples every curve according to its curvature distribution and performes triangular mesh division on it. Finally, surface reconstruction is achieved. The experimental results demonstrate that the surface reconstruction is done as the point cloud hole is filled simultaneously.
