Abstract
A method for generation of a surface representation of an object from layered pixel data converts the pixel data into a series of layers of ordered point clouds. The layered ordered point clouds are stitched together for form a surface representation. Cleanup and sampling of the pixel data or the ordered point could data may be performed. The method also contemplates generation of a surface representation from point data.

A method for generating a surface representation of an object from layered pixel data of the object, comprising the steps of:
- converting the pixel data to layer by layer point clouds;
- stitching successive layer point clouds together to form a surface;
- and
- generating a file output representative of said surface.
