The colored model may be generated from a second plurality of points that define a coarse digital representation of the surface and at least one texture map containing information derived from a first plurality of colored points that define a fine digital representation of the surface. This derivation is achieved by mapping points within the texture map to the fine digital representation of the three-dimensional surface. Colored scan data may be used to construct the fine digital representation as a triangulated surface (i.e., triangulation) using a wrapping operation."}],"author":[{"first_name":"Steven","full_name":"Williams, Steven","last_name":"Williams"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-9823-6833","id":"3FB178DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Edelsbrunner, Herbert","last_name":"Edelsbrunner","first_name":"Herbert"},{"first_name":"Ping","full_name":"Fu, Ping","last_name":"Fu"}]}
