In this paper we present a new Point Set Surface (PSS) definition based on moving least
squares (MLS) fitting of algebraic spheres. Our surface representation can be expressed by …

Moving least squares (MLS) is a very attractive tool to design effective meshless surface
representations. However, as long as approximations are performed in a least square …

We introduce a robust moving least-squares technique for reconstructing a piecewise
smooth surface from a potentially noisy point cloud. We use techniques from robust statistics …

We introduce an ℓ1-sparse method for the reconstruction of a piecewise smooth point set
surface. The technique is motivated by recent advancements in sparse signal reconstruction …

Continuation methods are based on piecewise linear approximation of a variety (eg curve or
surface) by means of numerical solution of an initial value problem 7. In other words, they …

The use of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds for tunnel deformation measurement
has elicited much interest. However, general methods of point-cloud processing in tunnels …

Accurate computing of the curvatures of a surface from its discrete form is of fundamental
importance for many graphics and engineering applications. The moving least-squares …

Terrain matching positioning technology is used to locate underwater vehicles by the terrain
information. The traditional method uses all real-time bathymetric points to traverse the …

Moving least squares (MLS) surfaces representation directly defines smooth surfaces from
point cloud data, on which the differential geometric properties of point set can be …

This paper presents the coupled axial-transverse-rotational nonlinear forced vibrations of
Timoshenko tapered beams made of an axially functionally graded (AFG) material subjected …
