Abstract

This work introduces a method that produces triangular mesh representation of a target object surface. The new surface reconstruction method is based on Growing Self-organizing Maps, which learns both the geometry and the topology of the input data set. Each map grows incrementally producing meshes of different resolutions, according to different application needs. Experimental results show that the proposed method can produce triangular meshes having approximately equilateral faces, that approximate very well the shape of an object, including its concave regions and holes, if any.
