Three-dimensional (3-D) urban models are an integral part of numerous applications, such
as urban planning and performance simulation, mapping and visualization, emergency …

This paper proposes a simple and fast operator, the" Hidden" Point Removal operator, which
determines the visible points in a point cloud, as viewed from a given viewpoint. Visibility is …

Many applications in science and engineering require a digital model of a real physical
object. Advanced scanning technology has made it possible to scan such objects and …

We describe a robust but simple algorithm to reconstruct a surface from a set of merged
range scans. Our key contribution is the formulation of the surface reconstruction problem as …

We introduce a parameterized notion of feature size that interpolates between the minimum
of the local feature size, and the recently introduced weak feature size. Based on this notion …

In this paper we introduce a new, precise and adaptive method for the implicit reconstruction
of faulted surfaces with complex geometry from scattered, unorganized points as obtained …

We present a new volumetric method for reconstructing watertight triangle meshes from
arbitrary, unoriented point clouds. While previous techniques usually reconstruct surfaces as …

In this paper, we propose a novel surface reconstruction technique based on Bayesian
statistics: The measurement process as well as prior assumptions on the measured objects …

The recent advent of increasingly affordable and powerful 3D scanning devices capable of
capturing high resolution range data about real-world objects and environments has fueled …

Polyhedral meshes are increasingly becoming an attractive option with particular
advantages over traditional meshes for certain applications. What has been missing is a …
