Abstract
We propose a new definition of the implicit surface for a noisy point cloud that allows for high-quality reconstruction of the surface in all cases. It is based on proximity graphs that provide a more topology-based measure for p roximity of points. The new definition can be evaluated very fast, but, unlike other definitions based on the weighted least squares approach, it does not suffer from artifacts.
