Abstract
A method, system, apparatus, article of manufacture, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to reconstruct a pipe from point cloud data. Point cloud data is obtained. Primitive geometric shapes are detected in the point cloud data. A pipeline is determined by determining predecessor and successor primitive geometric shapes for each of the shapes. Diameters, coplanarity, and angles between the shapes are corrected. The shapes are connected and output.
