Marching triangles

In computer graphics, the problem of transforming a cloud of points on the surface of a three-dimensional object into a polygon mesh for the object can be solved by a technique called 'marching triangles. This provides a faster alternative to other methods for the same problem of surface reconstruction, based on Delaunay triangulation.[1][2]
