Surface Reconstruction Using Scattered Cloud Points

Surface reconstruction means that retrieve the data by scanning an object using a device such as laser scanner and construct it using the computer to gain back the soft copy of data on that particular object. Surface reconstruction is a reverse method. It is very useful when in a particular object original data is missing without doing any backup. Hence, by doing so, the data can be recollected and can be stored for future purposes. We develop a system for image reconstruction from scattered cloud points. Crust algorithm with umbrella Filtering will be implemented and compared for time taken by the algorithm for surface reconstruction. The main aim of the algorithm is to filter out left insignificant data while preserving an acceptable level of output quality. Keywords— Surface Reconstruction, crust algorithm, umbrella filtering, point clouds.
