Abstract:
1. A development system for the creation of a 3D curve model of an instance of an object of interest from a set of 2D images of said instance, said development system comprising one or more computer processors and a plurality of components, each component comprising computer-executable instructions executing upon the one or more computer processors, the system comprising: an interface component, said interface inputting a set of 2D images of an instance; a visual hull creation component, said visual hull creation component creating a visual hull model of said instance derived from said set of 2D images of said instance; a 3D curve creation component, said 3D curve creation component creating a set of 3D curves upon said visual hull model; and a refinement component, said refinement component removing 3D edges derivable from a set of neighboring 2D images wherein said edges are inconsistent with the visual hull model.
