Project goals:
develop a web-based system for remote 3D models reconstruction from stereo pairs.
Project results:
code development and implementation of a network service.
Short Description.

The system (described in more detail here) has been realized on an open-source platform and gives to an user the possibility to perform the reconstruction of a 3D model starting from a stereo image pair. The scheme relies on the usual client-server paradigm and has been designed according to the Model-View-Controller paradigm. The following steps in the reconstruction procedure have been implemented:

  1. image upload/selection;
  2. features (corner) extraction;
  3. features (corner) matching;
  4. fundamental matrix and rototraslation parameters estimation;
  5. image rectification;
  6. dense matching;
  7. polyhedrization.

The interfacecan work in learning mode and expert mode: in the second case additional controls on each step of the reconstruction process are available.

Although the reconstruction algorithm requires, in principle, little interaction with the user, a higher degree of interactivity has been implemented. This gives the additional opportunity to i) manually resolve ambiguities or inconsistencies that might appear during the reconstruction procedure and ii) provide an advanced testing environment to developers.
