In light of large scattered data points set in reverse engineering,a space partition strategy with its corresponding data structure is studied in this paper.Besides,the direct triangulation algorithm from 3D scattered points based on the local incremental mesh expansion method is offered and implemented.The computational complexity of this algorithm is linear,which effectively reduces its time complexity and greatly improves the mesh quality.
