I know that many 3D image capture systems work by first generating a point cloud which represents points on objects that were hit by the sensor. What type of algorithms can be used to convert such point clouds into meshes? An algorithm to solve this would effectively need to construct a hull that contains all the points.

Here's one example of one such algorithm: http://www.pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/greedy_projection.php
