About

Markov Random Field Surface Reconstruction (MRFSurface) is a surface reconstruction and remeshing method. It has been tested on modestly sized datasets and the results are comparable to current state-of-the-art algorithms. In particular, it has been shown to be well suited for hole filling in surface scans of human faces. Currently, a compiled version is available for free use - or more preciseliy on a citeware basis. Use the software and be kind to cite us.

Recently, (October 2010) we have also released our combined alignment and reconstruction framework. It is included in the MRFSurface software package. Take a look at the examples page for usage.
