Shape reconstruction using partial differential equations

We present an efficient method for reconstructing complex geometry using an elliptic Partial Differential Equation (PDE) formulation. The integral part of this work is the use of three-dimensional curves within the physical space which act as boundary conditions to solve the PDE. The chosen PDE is solved explicitly for a given general set of curves representing the original shape and thus making the method very efficient. In order to improve the quality of results for shape representation we utilize an automatic parameterization scheme on the chosen curves. With this formulation we discuss our methodology for shape representation using a series of practical examples.
