Abstract :
CUDA is a new general-purpose C language interface to GPU developed by NVIDIA. It makes full use of parallel of GPU and has been widely used now. 3D model reconstruction is a traditional and common technique which has been widely used in engineering experiments, CAD and computer graphics. In this paper, we present an algorithm of CUDA-based Poisson surface reconstruction. Our algorithm makes full use of parallel of GPU and runs entirely on GPU and is ten times faster than previous CPU algorithm.
