3D Photography Project An Overview of 3D Photography and The Computational Aspect of Triangle Mesh By Muhammed Santa for 3D photography class, Prof. Ioannis Stamos, CUNY,Fall2003 Project Overview In this project, although I concentrated on the computational geometry that involves the triangulation process, following topics are covered : 3D Photography overview : 3D photography is the process of using cameras and light to capture the shape and appearance of real objects. This process provides a simple way of acquiring 3D models of unparalleled detail and realism by scanning them in from the real world. A variety of techniques are used to achieve 3D models through 3DP, but they all share some common steps of operation.I will give a brief overview of these steps involving 3D Photography. Dalaunay triangulation and Voronoi diagram : Process of creating triangles from camera coordinates c(x) and c(y) of the given data sets is known as triangulation which is needed to determine the 3D coordinates of the point sets is part of meshing process. We do not need to know the projector coordinates p(x) and p(y) for triangulation but p(x) and p(y) are needed along with intrinsic parameters c,f,k of the device to determine the 3D coordinates.One common method used for triangulation is Dalaunay Triangulation. A Voronoi diagram is a dual of dalaunay triangles can be used in mesh generation. I will discuss the algorithm and computational complexity of Dalaunay triangulation and Voronoi diagram. I will also show example of some other triangulation methods. Results from triangulations and meshes: some triangle meshes, dalaunay triangulations and voronoi diagrams are created from data sets.I have not implemented any of the methods yet, so used matlab functions to generate results. C code to read .ptx files and matlab codes are shown. 3D Photography overview For all image base models, idea for achieving 3DP actually is recovering the shape of the objects, i.e. the 3d coor
