Abstract

Using the 3D scanner, a large quantity of 3D data set of the scanned object is generally acquired. It isn't very convenient to transform and to process such a large data set. So compression is necessary. In this paper the 3D data compressing of the human head surface is considered. A 2D curve compressing algorithm is extended to 3D space and is improved by adopting an adaptive threshold method. Experiments show that both the compressing rate and the reconstructing effect are satisfactory.
