[vtkusers] RE: Hoppe's 1st phase

[João Filipe de Castro Ferreira]

 Dear dr Ruijven,

 Thank you for your kind reply.

 Before receiving your message I had already noticed that this was the case.
I had read Hugues Hoppe's PhD thesis last year in the course of my work
(very impressive!) so I was familiar to the process, although I never
studied the mathematical background thouroughly, since my area of interest
is not Computer Graphics, but Computer and Machine Vision. Anyhow, would you
advise me as to implementing the last phases myself? Is it feasible using
what VTK has to offer? I have some ideas also concerning the Progress
implementation, which are not being addressed properly (0% progess while
reconstruction is being made, 100% progress when process ends - not very
user-friendly, wouldn't you agree? :))) ).

											Yours sincerely,
													JFC

Hi Filipe,

The VTK contains only the 1st phase of Hoppe's
reconstruction method. In the first phase a
coarse reconstruction of the surface is made
from a set of unstructured points. The aim was
not a high precision, but only to get the
topology correct. The second and third phase
were meant to optimize the accuracy of the
reconstruction.

Greetings, Leo van Ruijven.
