"Surface Reconstruction from Images"

by

Mr. Gang ZENG


Abstract:

Many objects can be mathematically represented as smooth surfaces with
arbitrary topology, and smooth surface reconstruction from images could be
cast into a variational problem. The main di culties are the intrinsic
ill-posedness of the reconstruction, image noise, e ciency and
scalability. In this paper, we discuss the reconstruction approaches that
use volumetric, graph-cut, and level-set optimization tools; and the
objective functionals that erent image information, shading silhouette,
photometry, and texture. Our discussion is accompanied by the
implementations of these approaches on real examples.
