| Abstract |
Rapid 3D reconstruction of environments has become an active research
topic due to the importance of 3D models in a huge number
of applications, be it in Augmented Reality (AR), architecture or
other commercial areas. In this paper we present a novel system
that allows for the generation of a coarse 3D model of the environment
within several seconds on mobile smartphones. By using a
very fast and flexible algorithm a set of panoramic images is captured
to form the basis of wide field-of-view images required for
reliable and robust reconstruction. A cheap on-line space carving
approach based on Delaunay triangulation is employed to obtain
dense, polygonal, textured representations. The use of an intuitive
method to capture these images, as well as the efficiency of the reconstruction
approach allows for an application on recent mobile
phone hardware, giving visually pleasing results almost instantly. |
