The “segmentation”, i.e., the three-dimensional point cloud partition in different morphological zones, is a necessary operation while approaching the reverse engineering cycle, because it helps the operator in generating the surface model. This operation is usually developed after the acquisition and the pre-processing phases, and it tries to define a boundary grid which the following surface fitting operation will employ for the surface model definition. Many approaches apply the segmentation methods far from the 3D scanner device. On the contrary, this research proposes an iterative strategy which starts from a first raw point acquisition and then partitions the object surface and identifies the boundary of those zones showing significant morphological features (shape-changes). As a consequence, they will be re-digitised with deeper scansions, in order to reach more precise morphological information. This partitioning operation is driven by a morphology descriptor, the gaussian curvature, giving an estimation of the local surface morphological complexity. Moreover the proposed algorithm employs the 3D scanner measuring uncertainty to define a “curvature variation threshold”, in order to identify those zones showing significant morphological shape-changes.
