Surface reconstruction from point clouds is an important element of reverse engineering as used to create solid models of existing objects. The research presented in this paper assumes no knowledge of relationships among the elements of the point cloud. The approach to initial mesh creation is based on extraction of points, called “feature points”, from the cloud based on geometric relationships with nearby points. A neighborhood is established for each data point, the points in the neighborhood are ordered, and feature points are identified based on relationships among the neighbors. Feature points within a neighborhood are linked to construct a polygonal mesh that is then triangulated.
