The Thinning Method for Measured Points Cloud in Surface Reconstruction
Yuan Chaolong · Mie of China · 2004
The Surface Reconstruction(SR) from 3D measured points cloud is one of the most important technologies in Reverse Engineering(RE). Based on curvature theory and curvature estimation, it introduces the method to reduce points cloud. This thinning method emphasizes on the algorithms for neighborhood searching, curvature estimate and thinning points cloud. The algorithms improve the caculation process, cut down the storage memory in SR.
