Pipeline
The Geometry Processing Pipeline [1] comprises several steps, starting from a raw pointset obtained from a 3D scanner, each step will filter or enrich the data. At the end of the pipeline, one obtains a compact mesh with a set of textures that encode the geometric details. The Geometry Processing Pipeline comprises the following steps:
- Reconstruction: create a surface mesh from a pointset;
- Remeshing: create an optimized surface mesh from an arbitrary one;
- Parameterization and Texturing: compute UV coordinates and generate texture maps with colors and normals.
Each step is implemented in the bundled geobox utility. The
algorithmic details and involved C++ classes are described in the
links above.
