Re: [Numpy-discussion] Help with interpolating missing values from a 3D scanner

I have implemented an iterative gaussian smoothing approach that is working well for my purposes. My approach uses a median filter to populate the initial values and then runs a few passes with gaussian smoothing. This works very well for the missing values that I care about within the

Thanks for all the ideas. I think I will look into the scikits.delaunay, Rbf, or gaussian smoothing approach. My best idea is similar to the Gaussian smoothing. Anyway, all of the missing data gaps seem to be small enough that I expect any of these methods to accomplish my purpose.

I am working on a face recognition using 3D data from a special 3D imaging system. For those interested the data comes from the FRGC 2004 dataset. The problem I am having is that for some pixels the scanner fails to capture depth information. The result is that the image has missing
