Abstract : Ball Pivoting Algorithm (BPA) was originally made for computing a triangular mesh from a regular distributed cloud of points after a registration process. In this article this method is presented and adapted for the mesh creation of a non-regular distributed surface of points and the simultaneous surface segmentation. Results are obtained from 3D data acquired by several sensors: laser range finder, stereo or profilometer.
