Abstract
We present a method for reconstructing complete 3D models from a number of images of an object taken from multiple viewpoints under the circular motions. We employ the shape from silhouette (SFS) method which constructs a voxel-based 3D model from the silhouettes of 2D images. In general, a single camera with an object's circular motion cannot capture the entire object with one orientation. Accordingly, we need to change the orientation of the object at least one time to capture the whole object. In this paper, we discuss a novel method to merge the two incomplete reconstructed voxel models into a single complete voxel model. Complex examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
