  abstract =   "With better and faster acquisition devices comes a demand
               for fast robust reconstruction algorithms, but no L1-based
               technique has been fast enough for online use so far. In
               this paper, we present a novel continuous formulation of the
               weighted locally optimal projection (WLOP) operator based on
               a Gaussian mixture describing the input point density. Our
               method is up to 7 times faster than an optimized GPU
               implementation of WLOP, and achieves interactive frame rates
               for moderately sized point clouds. We give a comprehensive
               quality analysis showing that our continuous operator
               achieves a generally higher reconstruction quality than its
               discrete counterpart. Additionally, we show how to apply our
               continuous formulation to spherical mixtures of normal
               directions, to also achieve a fast robust normal
               reconstruction."
