Abstract
In a method for simplifying point clouds of an object using a computing device, a point cloud of the object is obtained from a scanning device connected to the computing device, and the point cloud is meshed into triangulated grids. The triangulated grids are selected from the point cloud, and a number of simplification passes to simplify the triangulated grids is received from an input device. The triangulated grids of triangles are classified according to a shape of each grid and a location of each grid in the point cloud. Each type of triangulated grid is simplified to obtain simplified grids by performing a loop triangular grid function with the number of simplification passes. The simplified grids are smoothed and the cloud model of the object can be displayed.
