Abstract

The construction of a surface model from range data may be undertaken at any point in a continuum of scales that reflects the level of detail of the resulting model. This continuum relates the construction parameters to the scale of the model. We propose methods to dynamically reprocess range data at different scales. The construction result from a single scale is automatically evaluated, causing reconstruction at a different scale when user-defined criteria are not met. We demonstrate our methods in constructing a planar b-rep space envelope (a scene representation) for over 400 range images. The experiments demonstrate the ability to construct 100 percent valid models, with the scale of detail within specified requirements.
