A Topological Framework for Advancing Front Triangulation

In this paper we study advancing front methods for surface reconstruction. We propose a topological framework based on handlebody theory to implement such methods in a simple and robust way. As an example of the application of this framework we show an implementation of the Ball-Pivoting Algorithm. Triangulating the Stanford Bunny using the Ball-Pivoting advancing front algorithm.
