Moving least squares is a method of approximating a continuous functions from a set of eventually unorganized point samples via the calculation of a weighted least squares measure biased towards the region around the point at which the approximation value is requested.

In computer graphics, the moving least squares method is useful for reconstructing a surface from a set of points. Often it is used to create a 3D surface from a cloud of points through either downsampling or upsampling.
