Shape reconstruction from an unorganized point cloud with outliers.
Résumé
This paper deals with the problem of shape reconstruction from an unorganized and not necessarily uniformly distributed point cloud with outliers. A shape reconstruction method based on a Delaunay filtration called LDA-α-shapes has been introduced in 2010. This method may be used to reconstruct 2-D or 3-D shapes from a non necessary uniformly distributed point cloud but unfortunately it faces problems when there are outliers. For this reason, a little modification of the LDA-α-shapes definition is proposed in this article to deal with this kind of point clouds. The resulting new algorithm is still simple and efficient.
