Abstract:
1. A method for generating a three dimensional (3D) model of an object from a series of two dimensional (2D) images, wherein the series of 2D images depict varying views of the object and have associated camera parameter information, the method comprising: tracing the object in a first 2D image selected from the series of 2D images to provide a first set of tracing information; displaying a second 2D image selected from the series of 2D images on a display; projecting, on the display, an estimated representation of the object derived from the first set of tracing information onto the second 2D image selected from the series of 2D images; modifying, on the display, the estimated representation of the object that is projected on the second 2D image based on the second 2D image that is displayed on the display to provide a second set of tracing information; and generating the 3D model of the object based on the camera parameter information and the first and second sets of tracing information.
