Mining companies are constantly searching for new technologies in order to increase their productivity. One of the technologies that allow them to perform surface reconstruction without risking the lives of their workers is the use of LiDAR sensors in conjunction with mobile platforms that allow them to rotate the sensor to perform a full scan of the structure. However, the data processing is done through computers located outside the mine, due to its high computational cost, resulting in a high cost of time. This thesis presents as principal objective the design of a parallel algorithm for the fusion of point clouds captured by a LiDAR and the surface reconstruction in real-time, in order to reduce the time processing, taking into account a priori information of the scanning pattern of the points. Algorithms for point density reduction can be found in the literature, however, in this thesis these points are suppressed based on the principle that the registration stage between each scan can be obtained by a measurement system properly stablished, therefore, it is not necessary to use any ICP algorithm. Also, unlike the generic surface reconstruction algorithms, a new algorithm that uses the a priori information of the scanning system is proposed and allows to obtain the triangular mesh in real-time in comparison to the LiDAR scanning time. This algorithm will be implemented in a desktop computer with the use of GPUs provided by NVIDIA to evaluate its performance and, also, will be implemented in a Jetson Nano with real data. Finally, some recommendations and considerations are provided to be taken into account in the stages of evaluation of the sequential algorithm, coding of the parallel algorithm and implementation on GPUs.
