View source for Surface Reconstruction

Surface reconstruction is the process of converting a point cloud into a mesh.

==Explicit Reconstruction==
The idea here is to just connect the points to form triangles.


==Implicit Reconstruction==
The idea here is to first estimate a signed distance field from the point cloud and then do marching cubes to generate a mesh.
