The griddata function is very limited. It interpolates the point cloud
to a rectangular grid, which is a very brittle method.

This problem is very complicated, and Octave offers very limited tools
to work with it, not to mention that Octave cannot gracefully handle
point clouds of modest size. Meshlab is better optimised to handle
much larger point clouds.
