General software features
A complete algorithmic pipeline for reconstruction of a 3D model from photographs.
The software takes as input calibrated views (that is, photographs with camera posed and oriented in space and internal parameters known). As output, it yields a textured 3D mesh. The steps are the following:
- estimation of dense correspondences between images by plane sweeping,
- triangulation to get a point cloud,
- tetrahedral meshing of the point cloud and removal of hidden faces to get an initial mesh,
- mesh optimization by incremental minimization of an energy balancing data fidelity and regularity,
- creation from view fragments of a texture atlas to apply to the mesh.
