  abstract =	 "In this work, an approach for reconstructing 3D
                  objects from layered spatial data points is
                  presented. These data points are sampled at the
                  surface of a 3D object using a 3D scanning
                  system. In the first part, two algorithms for
                  reconstructing triangle meshes from scanned objects
                  are compared against each other showing different
                  behavior concerning the quality and the number of
                  reproduced triangles of the approximated
                  model. Second, in order to allow fast visualization
                  of the geometry, the mesh is optimized in respect of
                  its number of triangles in a way that preserves the
                  contour of the object. ",
