We propose a robust, feature-preserving surface reconstruction algorithm which turns a point set with noise and outliers into a low triangle-count simplicial complex. Our approach starts with a simplicial complex filtered from a 3D Delaunay triangulation of the input points. This initial approximation is iteratively simplified based on the optimal cost to transport the point set to the simplicial complex, both seen as measures (or mass distributions). Our optimal transport formulation allows the recovery of sharp features even in the presence of a large amount of outliers and/or noise in the input set.
