Abstract:
1. A method for estimation of object properties of a 3-dimensional object from a 2-dimensional image by recovering model parameters to adjust a 3-dimensional model of the 3-dimensional object from the 2-dimensional image by a Multi-Feature Fitting Algorithm comprising the following steps: a) retrieving several image related informations from the 2-dimensional image; b) processing retrieved informations separately by specific cost functions; c) superimposing results of specific cost functions in the Multi-Feature Fitting Algorithm; d) approaching a global extreme of Multi-Feature Cost Function by adjusting model parameters related to the Multi-Feature Fitting Algorithm; e) using the model parameters in the 3-dimensional model to display a 3-dimensional estimation of a 3-dimensional shape.
