A hybrid 3D modelling approach considering of Java 3D and PTViewer open source

As the world we are living in is three or more dimensions, we have to reconstruct the world in three dimension (3D). However, the world is composed of various things which have different modes, states and attributes. In certain applications, the emphases are put on certain special objects, it is unpractical and unnecessary to describe and express them in a way. Therefore we just need to construct the interesting objects in true 3D reconstruction. The surrounding things can be expressed by other way. So, the paper puts forward that adopting Java 3D to express the interesting objects and adopting panoramic images to be their environments, and the relationships of each panoramic scene are expressed in the 2D map. So, this hybrid approach mainly contains two techniques, the one is how to show the interesting by Java 3D, the other one is the stitching of the panoramic images, which is relatively mature, the data collection is inexpensive, light and handy in the total process, and it is could be adopted as panorama by open source. The experiments show that the hybrid method and the reconstructed object height proposed by the paper are much validated and something useful is obtained.
