Poisson Surface Reconstruction

Poisson Surface Reconstruction is a technique used to create smooth, accurate 3D models from a set of scattered points, often captured by 3D scanners or photographs. It interprets these points, along with their surface orientations, as clues to the shape's overall surface. By solving a mathematical problem similar to filling in a surface that best fits all the points, it generates a continuous, watertight 3D mesh. This method effectively reconstructs detailed and smooth models, especially when data is noisy or incomplete, making it valuable in 3D modeling, computer graphics, and reverse engineering.
