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.I.3.5 [Computer Graphics]10.2312/vvg.20031006A.
