Abstract

A method includes generating, based on first surface data that includes three-dimensional (3D) point positions corresponding to a first portion of a surface of an object, first hole data that indicates first positions of holes in the first portion of the surface. The method includes generating, based on second surface data corresponding to a second portion of the surface of the object, second hole data that indicates second positions of the holes in the second portion of the surface. The method also includes matching the first positions to the second positions to perform an alignment with respect to the first surface data and the second surface data.
