Abstract

A first T-spline fitting system includes a three-dimensional (3D) sensor, a processor and a memory storing a program for representing a point cloud of the scene using T-spline representation. The system executes acquiring an image of the scene using the 3D sensor, generating the point cloud from the image, determining a parameterized domain of the point cloud by mapping data points of the point cloud to values of parameters of the parameterized domain, partitioning recursively the parameterized domain into a set of patches, connecting the patches to form a T-mesh defining topology of control points in the parameterized domain, and fitting a T-spline surface into the point cloud according to the T-mesh to determine positions of the control points.
