3D Modeling and Reconstruction

3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical, wire-frame representation of any three-dimensional object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software algorithms and displayed as a two-dimensional image for use in a computer simulation. Our Computer Vision and Imaging group has been involved in the development of an image based modeler tools to build realistic models of architectural scenes and provide walk-throughs.

Augmented Reality

Augmented reality is a field of computer vision which deals with the combination of real-world and computer-generated data (virtual reality), where computer graphics objects are blended into real footage in real time. Augmented reality is an environment that includes both virtual reality and real-world elements. For instance, an AR user might wear translucent goggles; through these, he could see the real world, as well as computer-generated images projected on top of that world. An augmented reality system as one that combines real and virtual, is interactive in real-time and is registered in three dimensions.

Applications

  • Entertainment Industry - Games, Movies
  • Creating Walk-throughs of houses to aid the real-estate industry
  • Visualization of architecture
  • Creating Models of hotel rooms, historical monuments to benefit the tourism sector
  • Enhanced sightseeing : labels or any text related to the objects/places seen, rebuilt ruins, building or even landscape as seen in the past.
  • Advertising
  • Navigation devices for Military and emergency services (portable / wearable systems displaying instructions, maps, enemy locations, fire cells etc.)
  • Entertainment and Education industry - Use in museums and exhibitions
  • Collaboration of distributed teams, e.g. in a virtual boardroom
  • Simulation, e.g. flight and driving simulators
  • Prospecting in hydrology, ecology, geology (display and interactive analysis of terrain characteristics, interactive three-dimensional maps)

Capabilities

  • Semi automatic 3D reconstruction (of planar faces) from images of architectural scenes
  • 3D Modeling of architectural scenes
  • Stitching models generated from multiple views
  • Textured and wire frame model generation
