Real-time surface meshing through HRBF networks

A procedure for real-time 3D meshing reconstruction from sparse data is presented. The approach is based on hierarchical radial basis functions networks, which allow for an effective reconstruction of multi-scale surfaces. This model is extended to provide not only the continuous surface description, but also real-time operation. To this purpose, the HRBF network differential properties have been exploited to produce a denser mesh in regions where geometry is more detailed.
