Reach For the Arcs: Reconstructing Surfaces from SDFs via Tangent Points

Yingying Ren

We introduce an algorithm to reconstruct a mesh from discrete samples of a shape's Signed Distance Function (SDF). A simple geometric reinterpretation of the SDF lets us formulate the problem through a point cloud, from which a surface can be extracted wit ...
