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.
Context in which the software is used

Internal use in IMAGINE project (École des Ponts ParisTech/CSTB).

This software is at the core of the start-up Acute3D.
