This paper presents a new methodology for reproducing historic fragment in 3D with realistic behaviour, providing users with a feel for the fragment detailing. The fragment piece originates from the English National Trust archive held in the collection at Claydon House. The aim is to utilize a combination of both 2D pattern software and state-of-the-art 3D technology to recreate a compelling an...

The 3D model reconstruction of buildings from uncalibrated photographs allows new useful Computer Graphics and Computer Vision applications. In this paper we survey some solutions proposed in literature and in commerce. The common and different methodology are reported and described. Finally we try to address the 3D reconstruction problem of architectural scenes presenting our solution: BolBol....

Most grasping systems require complete CAD models as input, but building these models automatically is not straightforward. We propose a strategy for approximating complete models of previously unknown objects from a single 3D scan of a cluttered scene. We achieve this by exploiting common symmetries in objects of daily use, and by handling overand under-segmentation issues. The idea is to use ...

During the last decades photogrammetric computer vision systems have been well established in scientific and commercial applications. Recent developments in image-based 3D reconstruction systems have resulted in an easy way of creating realistic, visually appealing and accurate 3D models. We present a fully automated processing pipeline for metric and geo-accurate 3D reconstructions of complex ...

Man-made environments contain many weakly textured surfaces which are typically poorly modeled in sparse point reconstructions. Most notable, wiry structures such as fences, scaffolds, or power pylons are not contained at all. This paper presents a novel approach for generating line-based 3D models from image sequences. Initially, camera positions are obtained using conventional Structurefrom-M...

Building a 3D model of the operating field is the first stage to access the registration of pre-operative surface models in per-operative context. We propose a method to learn the 3D model of the organs observed by a stereoscopic endoscope. This method is general and requires no a priori knowledge of the position of the instruments, whether robotized or manually-controlled, present in the field...

We show how to exploit temporal periodicity of moving objects to perform 3D reconstruction. The collection of period-separated frames serve as a surrogate for multiple rigid views of a particular pose of the moving target, thus allowing the use of standard techniques of multiview geometry. We motivate our approach using human motion capture data, for which the true 3D positions of the markers a...

There is an increasing need for geometric 3D models in the movie industry, the games industry, mapping (Street View) and others. Generating these models from a sequence of images is much cheaper than previous techniques (e.g. 3D scanners). These techniques have also been able to take advantage of the developments in digital cameras and the increasing resolution and quality of images they produc...

Traditionally, building 3D reconstructions of large scenarios such as a museum or historical site has been costly, time consuming and required the contribution of expert personnel. Usually the results showed an artificial look and had little interactivity. However, newly developed technologies in the areas of video analysis, camera calibration and texture fusion allow us to think in a much more...
