Abstract

This paper presents a new technique for free form surface reconstruction using functional link neural networks. A comparative study is performed between classical methods used for interpolation and the proposed ones based on neural networks. We show that the neural networks approach provides good approximation for smoothly varying surfaces, and provides better results than classical techniques when used for free form surface reconstruction.
