Abstract

Strictly iterative approaches derived from unsupervised artificial neural network (ANN) methods have been surprisingly efficient for the application of surface reconstruction from scattered 3D points. This comes from the facts, that on the one hand, ANN are able to robustly cluster samples of arbitrary dimension, size, and complexity, and on the second hand, ANN algorithms can easily be adjusted to specific applications by inventing simple local learning rules without loosing the robustness and convergence behavior of the basic ANN approach. In this work, we break up the idea of having just an ``adjustment'' of the basic unsupervised ANN algorithm but intrude on the central learning scheme and explicitly use learned topology within the training process. We demonstrate the performance of the novel concept in the area of surface reconstruction. In this work, we break up the idea of having just an “adjustment” of the basic unsupervised ANN algorithm but intrude on the central learning scheme and explicitly use the learned topology within the training process. We demonstrate the performance of the novel concept in the area of surface reconstruction.
