Abstract :
An image based multi-view reconstruction system, fast and robust, is introduced in this article. Instead of using visual hull as input, multi-view images are directly used to generate a precise and watertight 3D model. At the same time, point cloud and visual hull can also be produced as by-products. Our system is made up of three stages: point cloud generation, fusion and meshing. With well-designed algorithm and data structure, state-of-the-art speed is achieved in this highly reliable system, as revealed in our comparison with related work.
