Many years ago, I tried building my own (very basic) 3D scanner with a webcam and a leveling line laser. It was really exciting when I actually got it working and equally disappointing when I realized that my scan was point cloud full of holes. I had nothing to use it for.
This article is about a brilliant approach to not only get a usable mesh from such a point cloud, but also fill in the holes with real, human body shape. Very cool!!
This looks like interesting work, and I suggest you repost it with two changes: (1) revise the article to be less "announcey" and give actual detail about the work; (2) don't get friends (or sockpuppets) to upvote it. HN's software detects that and penalizes the submission. We also take voting privileges away and/or ban accounts that do it.
If you (or anyone) wants more advice about how to make content that HN will find interesting and/or how (not) to get penalized or banned, please email us at hn@ycombinator.com.
