I have sonar image which is basically a point cloud (x, y, z) of an irregular 
underground cone-shaped structure. I am trying to create either (1) a closed 3D 
mesh with "equally spaced" mesh grid, or (2) a smooth closed surface, for 
instance by calculating connected localized regression surfaces. My Z 
(vertical) component is equally spaced, but X and Y consist of 128 points 
around the perimeter, regardless of diameter, which makes the grid size small 
where the diameter is small, and large where it is large. I'm looking for 
relatively equal grids, so I could use regression or interpolation to add 
points where needed, or conversely remove them, hence the idea of a localized 
surface regression. I've tried plot3D package, RGL, and a couple other packages 
including alphashape3d. I have not tried plotly or rms. So much time invested I 
thought I would ask for advice, if anyone knows a package or technique or can 
clue which direction to go. Thanks,
