Research on data simplification for point cloud in surface reconstruction
Xiaoping Lou · 2009
Data simplification is an important part of surface reconstruction.Through analyzing the shortcomings of existing data simplification methods,a simplification method based on curvature variance of original scattered point cloud is adopted.This method emphasizes on the algorithms for spatial partition,neighborhood searching,curvature estimation and the principles of simplification.Through testing and analyzing some measured data with different characteristics,the results show that the algorithms achieve more reasonable effect of simplification.
