Salient features of our pipeline consist in the capability to provide low-latency, on-the-fly coarse alignment regardless to the number of scans, the capacity to handle interruptions of a continuous acquisition path, as well as an improved implementation of a robust state-of-the-art global alignment technique.{Computational modelingCultural differencesFeature extractionPipelinesRobustnessSolid modelingThreedimensional displays}10.1109/DigitalHeritage.2013.6743728
