• Abstract: This paper proposes a method for estimating a surface that contains a given set of points from noisy measurements. More precisely, by assuming that the surface is described by the zero set of a function in the span of a given set of features and a parametric description of the distribution of the noise, a computationally efficient method is described that estimates both the surface and the noise distribution parameters. In the provided examples, polynomial and sinusoidal basis functions were used. However, any chosen basis that satisfies the outlined conditions mentioned in the paper can be approximated as a combination of trigonometric, exponential, and/or polynomial terms, making the presented approach highly generalizable. The proposed algorithm exhibits linear computational complexity in the number of samples. Our approach requires no hyperparameter tuning or data preprocessing and effectively handles data in dimensions beyond 2D and 3D. The theoretical results demonstrating the convergence of the proposed algorithm have been provided. To highlight the performance of the proposed method, comprehensive numerical results are conducted, evaluating our method against state-of-the-art algorithms, including Poisson Reconstruction and the Neural Network-based Encoder-X, on 2D and 3D shapes. The results demonstrate the superiority of our method under the same conditions.
