Abstract

Several methods (discrete and continuous) for surface reconstruction have been proposed over the past years. Convex hull is one of them, which is the minimal convex envelope for a set of points X in a real vector space V. We present a method to 3D surface reconstruction which refines the convex hull by means of a peeling process with an adaptive radius. Tests with points of different objects, some of them from the AimatShape Project, were carried out, showing a better approximation than the one using traditional convex hull, and a little reduction in number of points used and computer time elapsed.
