RECOGNITION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF SPECIAL SURFACES FROM POINT CLOUDS

Given a cloud of measurement points from the surface of a 3D object, we address the problem of recognizing and reconstructing special surface types. We survey our work on this problem, which is based on approximation in the space of lines and in the space of planes. Moreover, we discuss new generalizations which also use a recently developed technique for parametric surface fitting with an active contour model.
