Abstract
In an example embodiment, a technique is provided for reconstructing and analyzing a mesh surface based on a combination of 2.5D and 3D point data that involves building a hybrid spatial index whose nodes are labeled as containing 2.5D data or 3D data, and whose branching is adapted to such types of data. The hybrid spatial index is then used to reconstruct the mesh surface and analyze the mesh surface, taking advantage of more efficient algorithms adapted to specific types of data. The technique may allow for a hybrid spatial index that uses fewer nodes, and for use of 2.5D specific reconstruction and analysis algorithms for at least a part of the mesh surface.
