Some self-test questions about today's paper:

What information, in addition to the distance to the reflecting surface point do Curless and Levoy take into account when the build the best possible model of the scanned surface?

How do they make use of the statistical uncertainties of the distance estimation process?

What is the key idea to filling in missing patches in the surface that were never analyzed by the scanner?

Check your answers against the material presented in the presentation.
