Abstract
In one embodiment a method of generating a three dimensional model of a subject is disclosed. The method comprises receiving point cloud data for a subject; receiving user inputs indicating a plurality of cubes, and a grouping of the cubes into a plurality of blocks to form a representation of a class of subjects; generating a first mesh comprising a plurality of quadrilaterals by subdividing patches corresponding to faces of blocks of the plurality of blocks; fitting the first mesh to the point cloud data to generate a fitted mesh; iteratively generating further meshes, each comprising a plurality of quadrilaterals by subdividing patches of the fitted mesh from the previous iteration and fitting the further mesh to the point cloud data; and outputting as the three dimensional model of the subject the iteratively generated fitted mesh.
