  • Method for determining the three-dimensional surface of an object
    Patent number: 7626584
    Abstract: A method for determining the three-dimensional surface of an object comprises the phases of: defining (1) the coordinates of a plurality of points of said object; defining (2) a three-dimensional matrix of cells that contains said object to which a value can be associated; determining (3) the distance between each centre of said cells of said three-dimensional matrix of cells and the closest point of said plurality of points of said object; setting (4) the value of several cells of said three-dimensional matrix of cells at a first preset value; determining (7) the value that each cell of said three-dimensional matrix of cells assumes, with the exception of said several cells, by means of the following formula F ? ( x _ i , t + 1 ) = F ? ( x _ i , t ) · v i + w · ? j ? F ? ( x _ j , t ) · v j v i + w · ? j ? v j where xi represents the coordinates of the centre of the i_th cell, F( xi, t) represents the value of the i_th cell at time t, vi
