Abstract: As 3D scanning technology is advancing, both quality and quantity of
available point cloud data is increasing. Many applications require the
reconstruction of the surface of a scanned object as a 3D model.
As scans become exceedingly detailed, point clouds become larger and
surface reconstruction more computationally challenging. A fast and scalable
solution for the reconstruction problem is needed.
We constructed and implemented a scalable distributed surface reconstruction
algorithm called DistributedBallFilter based on the recently developed
BallFilter algorithm. We executed our implementation on the VSC3+ high
performance computing cluster and empirically analysed its speedup as well
as its parallel scaling behaviour. In our tests for
DistributedBallFilter we achieved running times around five times
faster than with BallFilter.
