3D S.O.M.A commercial software solution to 3D scanning
This paper describes the novel features of a commercial software-only solution to 3D scanningthe 3D Software Object Modeler. Our work is motivated by the desire to produce a low-cost, portable 3D scanning system based on hand-held digital photographs. We describe the novel techniques we have employed to achieve a robust software-based system in the areas of camera calibration, surface generation, and texture extraction.
