Abstract

The task of surface reconstruction is to find a mathematical representation of a surface which is given only by a set of discrete sampling points. The mathematical description in the computer allows to save or transfer the geometric data via internet, to manipulate (e.g. for aerodynamic or design specific reasons) or to optimize the machining of the work pieces. The reconstruction of the shape of an object is a difficult mathematical and computational problem. For this reason a GP/ES-hybrid algorithm has been used. Due to the high complexity of the problem and in order to speed up the reconstruction process, the algorithm has been enhanced to work as a multipopulation GP/ES that runs in parallel on a network of standard PCs.
