Shape from Silhouette: Image Pixels for Marching Cubes
Résumé
In this paper, we propose to use image pixels for geometry reconstruction with a shape from silhouette approach. We aim at estimating shape and normal for the surface of a single object seen through calibrated images. From the voxel-based shape obtained with the algorithm proposed by R. Szeliski in [18], our main contribution concerns the use of image pixels together with marching cubes for constructing a triangular mesh. We also provide a mean for estimating a normal inside each voxel with two different methods: (i) using marching cubes triangles and (ii) using only voxels. As seen in the results, our method proves accurate even for real objects acquired with a usual camera and an inexpensive acquisition system.
