Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention includes scanning a target with electromagnetic radiation including one or more frequencies in a range of about 200 MHz to about 1 THz; establishing a point cloud representation of the surface of the target from the scan; and performing one or more curve-fitting operations as a function of at least a portion of the points of the point cloud representation to represent at least a portion of the surface of the target.
