Luis/Inaxio

Tim Hutton had ported the PowerCrust Reconstruction filter into vtk (http://www.eastman.ucl.ac.uk/~thutton/powercrust) from the origianl code by Nina Amenta, Sunghee Choi and Ravi Krishna Kolluri (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/amenta/powercrust/welcome.html). If I've 
gotten the story wrong, sorry Tim....

This approach uses the Medial Axis Transform but I know nothing about it 
(other than it works pretty well in a number of surfacing cases I tried). 
Maybe there is some code that could be reused there. I don't know what the 
status of the licensing is so need to be a bit careful how you use it. 
Perhaps Tim could be of assistance?

Hi Inaxio,

Nope, nothing yet...

Any volunteers ?

For anyone giving a course in Image Processing,
that will make for a nice course project...     :-)
