Abstract
A method for compressing a cloud of points with imposed error constraints at each point is disclosed. Surfaces are constructed that approach each point to within the constraint specified at that point, and from the plurality of surfaces that satisfy the constraints at all points, a surface is chosen which minimizes the amount of memory required to store the surface on a digital computer.
