Abstract

We present a new method for noise removal on static and time-varying range data. Our approach predicts the restored position of a perturbed vertex using similar vertices in its neighborhood. It defines the required similarity measure in a new non-local fashion which compares regions of the surface instead of point pairs. This allows our algorithm to obtain a more accurate denoising result than previous state-of-the-art approaches and, at the same time, to better preserve fine features of the surface. Furthermore, our approach is easy to implement, effective, and flexibly applicable to different types of scanned data. We demonstrate this on several static and interesting new time-varying datasets obtained using laser and structured light scanners.
