3D reconstruction from few silhouettes using statistical models and landmark points

Research Output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding Conference contribution Peer-review

Abstract

3D model reconstruction is an important issue in computer graphics, computer vision and virtual reality. This paper presents a new method in rapid reconstruction of detailed 3D surface models from a small number, e.g. 3-4, of 2D silhouettes of objects taken from different views. A statistical shape model is used to fit a set of landmarks points, which are automatically created from the 2D silhouettes, to reconstruct a full detailed surface. The landmark points are optimally distributed to guarantee that the salient features of objects are included in the reconstruction process. Some proof- of-concept computational experiments have been conducted to reconstruct a test object. The results show that the proposed method is capable of reconstructing an acceptable detailed 3D surface.
