SilverLining™: Surface Reconstruction Software
|
What is SilverLining™?
SilverLining™ is a stand-alone graphical tool for fitting smooth
meshes to point-cloud data or incomplete mesh data, producing
water tight meshes for computer graphics and rapid prototyping.
SilverLining™ is built on FarField Technology's FastRBF™ engine which models surface data with a mathematical function. This
results in remarkable hole-filling and surface extrapolation abilities and offers a mesh-independent representation of your data.
In the SilverLining™ workflow, a compact RBF model is fitted to your data and subsequent meshes are generated as required, with the smoothing and resolution you want.
Who needs SilverLining™?
- Those working with laser scan data or Lidar data
- Those wanting to produce a mesh from point-cloud data
- Those needing to quickly repair and verify mesh data
- Those wanting to produce rapid prototyping models from their mesh or laser scan data
- Those wanting to smooth or approximate noisy surfaces
- Those requiring a graphical interface to the FastRBF™ technology, in
order to demonstrate the fitting capabilities of FastRBF™

What are the key benefits?
- Automatic interpolation (ie hole filling) that saves hours of mesh editing
- Mathematical model guarantees manifold, water tight meshes - essential for rapid prototyping
- Meshes characterized by uniform triangles - useful for re-meshing applications
- Smoothing of noisy or overly detailed scans
- Data compression - create a compact mesh-independent representation
- Mesh generation at multiple resolutions with anti-aliasing
