Implicit Progressive-Iterative Approximation for Curve and Surface Reconstruction (1909.00551v1)

Abstract: Implicit curve and surface reconstruction attracts the attention of many researchers and gains a wide range of applications, due to its ability to describe objects with complicated geometry and topology. However, extra zero-level sets or spurious sheets arise in the reconstruction process makes the reconstruction result challenging to be interpreted and damage the final result. In this paper, we proposed an implicit curve and surface reconstruction method based on the progressive-iterative approximation method, named implicit progressive-iterative approximation (I-PIA). The proposed method elegantly eliminates the spurious sheets naturally without requiring any explicit minimization procedure, thus reducing the computational cost greatly and providing high-quality reconstruction results. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method.
