Abstract
Moving least squares (MLS) surfaces representation directly defines smooth surfaces from point cloud data, on which the differential geometric properties of point set can be conveniently estimated. Nowadays, the MLS surfaces have been widely applied in the processing and rendering of point-sampled models and increasingly adopted as the standard definition of point set surfaces. We classify the MLS surface algorithms into two types: projection MLS surfaces and implicit MLS surfaces, according to employing a stationary projection or a scalar field in their definitions. Then, the properties and constrains of the MLS surfaces are analyzed. After presenting its applications, we summarize the MLS surfaces definitions in a generic form and give the outlook of the future work at last.
