is cheaper than 2D image representation-based schemes. Since <strong>the</strong> projection on <strong>the</strong>tangent plane is not a one-to-one mapping, some projections of geodesic circles arepossibly overlapped. Each geodesic circle projection can, however, be traced back to <strong>the</strong>corresponding geodesic circle, and <strong>the</strong>refore, <strong>the</strong> method can have <strong>the</strong> s<strong>am</strong>e advantage of<strong>the</strong> one-to-one mapping. The above mentioned representation schemes are summarizedin Table. 2.1 in chronological order, identifying whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> mapping is using localgeometry, computing geodesic distance and being able to carry features. This table isan updated version of <strong>the</strong> summary published in [109].2.3 Surface IntegrationSurface reconstruction is a step that extracts a surface from 3D measurements. Themeasurements are from multiple views of range images that have been registered toge<strong>the</strong>r.For a calibrated range scanner, each range image can be converted to a surfacepatch. The registered surface patches may overlap in <strong>the</strong> 3D space and may not cover<strong>the</strong> whole object due to incomplete scans. The surface reconstruction algorithm has todeal with <strong>the</strong> partly redundant and partly incomplete data, surface s<strong>am</strong>pling noise, andregistration error.Previous works in surface reconstruction from multi-view range images can be classifiedinto three groups: reconstruction from unorganized points [2, 3, 6, 13, 28, 40],mesh integration [66, 74, 75, 81, 85, 96], and implicit surface integration [21, 36, 101].22
