Abstract
We present a method to reconstruct a voxel-based 3D model from several 2D images of an object of different views. The data acquisition system consists of a camera on a tripod, and a computer controlled turntable. We employ a so called Shape-From-Silhouette (SFS) method which constructs a voxel-based 3D model from silhouette images. The obtained voxel model is further carved by the voxel coloring technique. As a final step, we convert the voxel-based model to a triangular mesh representation using the marching cubes method followed by a mesh smoothing. The reconstructed models of complex objects show the effectiveness of our inexpensive data acquisition system.
