The noise removal process (denoising) can be performed by filtering the surface normals first and by adjusting the vertex positions according to filtered normals afterward. Therefore, in many available denoising algorithms, the computation of noise-free normals is a key factor. A variety of filters have been introduced for noise removal from normals, with different focus points like robustness against outliers or large amplitude of noise. Although these filters are performing well in different aspects, a unified framework is missing to establish the relation between them and to provide a theoretical analysis beyond the performance of each method.", isbn="978-981-16-5576-0" }
