  • Patent number: 7456831
    Abstract: Provided is a method for generating a three-dimensional (3D) mesh based on unorganized sparse 3D points to generate a mesh model that displays a 3D surface by using unorganized sparse 3D points extracted from a plurality of two-dimensional image. The 3D mesh generating method based on unorganized sparse 3D points includes the steps of: receiving a plurality of unorganized sparse 3D points, a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) corresponding point information, and images; generating an initial mesh by using the received 2D corresponding information; removing an abnormal face from the initial mesh; checking if unused 2D corresponding point information exists among the received 2D corresponding point information; if unused 2D corresponding point information exists, reorganizing the initial mesh by performing a constrained Delaunay triangulation; and if unused 2D corresponding point information does not exist in the result of the confirmation, generating a final mesh.
