“…After using signed distance field in [7] to reconstruct mesh surface from point clouds, implicit functions have gained a lot of attention in surface reconstruction because of its ability to handle topological change and fill holes. Example approaches include RBF-based methods [1], [2], [4], [8]- [16], Poisson surface reconstructions [17], [18], smooth signed distance method [19], moving least-squares based methods [20]- [25], wavelets based method [26], and Partition-Of-Unity (POU) based methods [27], [28]. The methods based on RBF implicits are popular for their capability of handling sparse point clouds.…”
