Surface Types from POint-clouds

Hello:

Given a point cloud from a surface, is it possible to
guess the type of surface: I mean is it possible to
classify the surface as clylindrical, conical,
toroidal, spherical, etc?

After guessing the surface type, is it possible to fit
the analytical surface (rather than a free-form
surface)?

Could somebody please point me to literature on this
topic of using reverse engineering data?

Thanks in advane.

Have a nice day!
C K Lee
