PoissonReconstruction

This is a Rust implementation of the Screened Poisson Reconstruction surface reconstruction algorithm. This implementation comes courtesy of Foresight Mining Software Corporation who sponsor its creation and maintenance.

Reference papers

• Screened Poisson Surface Reconstruction by Kazhdan and Hoppe.

Features

Given a set of points and normals, the PoissonReconstruction will generate an implicit function from which the reconstructed surface can be extracted.

let poisson = PoissonReconstruction::from_points_and_normals(
    &points, &normals, 0.0, 4, 5, 10
);
let mesh_vertices = poisson.reconstruct_mesh();

The PoissonReconstruction representing an implicit function, it can be evaluated at space locations with PoissonReconstruction::eval. For convenience, a very basic isosurface extraction based on marching-cubes is provided with PoissonReconstruction::reconstruct_mesh().

Limitations

Some speed optimizations described in the Kazhdan et al. paper. Namely, it currently doesn’t implement the hierarchical clustering of point optimization nor the conforming version of the castadic solver.
