Abstract
A method for displaying a 3-D surface of an object, the method executed at least in part on a computer, acquires a set comprising a plurality of members, wherein each member is a 3-D view of the object Relation data that associates each member of the set of 3-D views to at least one other member of the set is generated according to at least displacement between the members. A composite 3-D surface of the object is formed according to the generated relation data. One or more positioning errors in the composite surface are automatically detected according to the generated relation data and at least a portion of the relation data re-generated to correct the one or more positioning errors. A corrected composite 3-D surface formed according to the re-generated relation data is displayed.
