Chapter 2BackgroundThis work makes contributions in surface smoothing, registration, integration, and segmentation.The literature reviews of <strong>the</strong> related research are presented in Section 2.1to 2.4.2.1 Surface SmoothingAs explained in <strong>the</strong> Appendix A, raw data acquired by range scanners are always corruptedby noise. Smoothing <strong>the</strong> corrupted surfaces is essential to build a robust surfacemodeling fr<strong>am</strong>ework. The technique also applies to surfaces digitized using o<strong>the</strong>r techniquessuch as stereo vision. Successful surface smoothing can greatly improve <strong>the</strong> visualappearance of a 3D object, and at <strong>the</strong> s<strong>am</strong>e time, can feed improved data to successiveprocesses, such as matching, surface segmentation, and mesh simplification.If a range value of a range image is considered equivalent to an intensity value of a10
