Many years ago, I tried building my own (very basic) 3D scanner with a webcam and a leveling line laser. It was really exciting when I actually got it working and equally disappointing when I realized that my scan was point cloud full of holes. I had nothing to use it for. This article is about a brilliant approach to not only get a usable mesh from such a point cloud, but also fill in the holes with real, human body shape. Very cool!!
