Mesh reconstruction from point cloud using javaScript?

Question

JavaScript

There is a need to get a 3d mesh from a point cloud on the client side (in the browser). There are libraries for 2d cases, I also found for 3D, but there are a lot of triangles inside (based on tetrahedra), and only a surface is needed.
I found an excellent Fade2D library, it can do exactly what you need, but only in C++. Are there similar JS libraries? Or at least open source, which really work and could be ported via emscripten

Answer 1

There is an open source OpenMVS project https://github.com/cdcseacave/openMVS
But please note that this is a very computationally and memory intensive task. Plus, it would be necessary to have not only a cloud, but also the images from which this cloud was built.
