3D mesh from X Y Z data

Question

I have a set of data in X Y Z format. I am interested in drawing a mesh on the outer surface of this data. Any algorithm or suggestions will be highly appreciated. (no opengl)

Thank you and have a great weekend.

Answer 1

I think marching cubes will be a good choice in your situation, it input a set of vertices as 3d scalars and outputs a surface mesh

if you know that the vertices already represents the outer shell of a surface(No vertices inside) i recommend you use Poisson reconstruction
