Starting from the input points (either points clouds or multiple range images), an Estimated Existence Function (EEF) is built which models the space in which the desired surface could exist and, by the extraction of EEF critical points, the surface is reconstructed. The final goal is the development of a generic framework able to adapt the result to different kinds of additional information coming from multiple sensors.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.3 [Computer Graphics]: Shape Modeling, Uncertain data, Multi-sensor Data Fusion
