Category: 3D Modelling
The members of the ACVT have been working on recovering shape information from image sets for more than 15 years. Originally stereo and optical flow were the focus, but more recently we have been working a wide range of projects from interactive 3D modelling from image sets to modelling plants from images taken within the Plant Accelerator. Much of the work undertaken in this area has been aimed at making the process of 3D content creation much simpler and accessible. The concept of “User Created Content” is key driver in the research. This has application in a broad range of markets including media and entertainment, simulation, advanced manufacturing etc. This work also important to the area of Augmented Reality.
