ab: Summary: Current surface reconstruction algorithms focus on complex
    surfaces or irregular surfaces. However, surfaces of revolution are
    very important in industrial applications and reconstruction of
    rotating surfaces are often required. To reconstruct a surface of
    revolution is to determine its axis and generatrix. The main obstacle
    is derived from, different from surfaces used in current surface
    reconstruction, the data of a surface of revolution are typically
    partially sampled. It makes the reconstruction of rotating surfaces a
    real interesting problem. In this paper, we present an algorithm to
    compute the axis and generatrix of a surface of revolution in such
    partially sampled case.
