Abstract

The present disclosure concerns a method for reconstructing a point cloud representing a 3D object from an inverse-projected point cloud obtained by inverse-projecting at least one depth image of an original point cloud, said at least one depth image being obtained by projecting points of the original point cloud onto at least one surface, said method comprising the steps of detecting at least one missing part in the inverse-projected point cloud, and completing said at least one missing part based on points in the neighborhood of said at least one missing part.
