Surface Reconstruction from Scattered Point via RBF Interpolation on GPU
In this paper we describe a parallel implicit method based on radial basis
functions (RBF) for surface reconstruction. The applicability of RBF methods is
hindered by its computational demand, that requires the solution of linear
systems of size equal to the number of data points. Our reconstruction
implementation relies on parallel scientific libraries and is supported for
massively multi-core architectures, namely Graphic Processor Units (GPUs). The
performance of the proposed method in terms of accuracy of the reconstruction
and computing time shows that the RBF interpolant can be very effective for
such problem.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0909.5413 by other author
