In 1999, Bernardini and colleagues introduced a very elegant and efficient reconstruction method that uses a ball pivoting around triangle edges and adds new triangles if the ball is incident to three points and contains no other points. This paper details an implementation and parallelization of this algorithm. </body> </html>
