<abstract>
<p>Despite of the popularity of Delauney structure for mesh generation, octree based approaches remain an interesting solution for a first
step surface reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a generic framework for a octree cell based mesh generation. Its input is a set of
Lidar-based 3D measurements or other inputs which are formulated as a set of mass functions that characterize the level of confidence
on the occupancy of each octree’s leaf. The output is a binary segmentation of the space between &lt;i&gt;occupied&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;empty&lt;/i&gt; areas by taking
into account the uncertainty of data. To this end, the problem is then reduced to a global energy optimization framework efficiently
optimized with a min-cut approach. We use the approach for producing a large scale surface reconstruction algorithm by merging data
from ubiquitous sources like airborne, terrestrial Lidar data, occupancy map and extra cues. Once the surface is computed, a solution
is proposed for texturing the mesh.</p>
