Advancing Front Surface Reconstruction Reference

Tran Kai Frank Da, David Cohen-Steiner

This package provides a greedy algorithm for surface reconstruction from an unorganized point set. Starting from a seed facet, a piecewise linear surface is grown by adding Delaunay triangles one by one. The most plausible triangles are added first, in a way that avoids the appearance of topological singularities.

template<typename PointInputIterator , typename IndicesOutputIterator >

IndicesOutputIterator CGAL::advancing_front_surface_reconstruction	(	PointInputIterator	b,
		PointInputIterator	e,
		IndicesOutputIterator	out,
		double	radius_ratio_bound = 5,
		double	beta = 0.52
	)

For a sequence of points computes a sequence of index triples describing the faces of the reconstructed surface.

Template Parameters

PointInputIterator	must be an input iterator with 3D points as value type. This point type must be convertible to Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel::Point_3 with the Cartesian_converter.
IndicesOutputIterator	must be an output iterator to which CGAL::cpp11::array<std::size_t, 3> can be assigned.

Parameters

b	iterator on the first point of the sequence
e	past the end iterator of the point sequence
out	output iterator
radius_ratio_bound	candidates incident to surface triangles which are not in the beta-wedge are discarded, if the ratio of their radius and the radius of the surface triangle is larger than radius_ratio_bound. Described in Section Dealing with Multiple Components, Boundaries and Sharp Edges
beta	half the angle of the wedge in which only the radius of triangles counts for the plausibility of candidates. Described in Section Plausibility of a Candidate Triangle

#include <CGAL/Advancing_front_surface_reconstruction.h>

template<typename PointInputIterator , typename IndicesOutputIterator , typename Priority >

IndicesOutputIterator CGAL::advancing_front_surface_reconstruction	(	PointInputIterator	b,
		PointInputIterator	e,
		IndicesOutputIterator	out,
		Priority	priority,
		double	radius_ratio_bound = 5,
		double	beta = 0.52
	)

For a sequence of points computes a sequence of index triples describing the faces of the reconstructed surface.

Template Parameters

PointInputIterator	must be an input iterator with 3D points as value type. This point type must be convertible to Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel::Point_3 with the Cartesian_converter.
IndicesOutputIterator	must be an output iterator to which CGAL::cpp11::array<std::size_t, 3> can be assigned.
Priority	must be a functor with double operator()(AdvancingFront,Cell_handle,int) returning the priority of the facet (Cell_handle,int).

Parameters

b	iterator on the first point of the sequence
e	past the end iterator of the point sequence
out	output iterator
radius_ratio_bound	candidates incident to surface triangles which are not in the beta-wedge are discarded, if the ratio of their radius and the radius of the surface triangle is larger than radius_ratio_bound. Described in Section Dealing with Multiple Components, Boundaries and Sharp Edges
beta	half the angle of the wedge in which only the radius of triangles counts for the plausibility of candidates. Described in Section Plausibility of a Candidate Triangle
priority	allows the user to choose how candidate triangles are prioritized.
