Surface model generation from the segmented contours. The initial surface mesh (left) is generated using the marching cubes method. It is refined (right) with a surface fitting technique that employs radial basis functions,37 providing a smoother surface with less vertices, potentially increasing the speed and accuracy of the registration.
