From a set of caliper distance measurements between object points, we reconstruct a three dimensional structure. We show that we can refine the model using planar contours obtained with a gage that are placed in three dimensions using the caliper measurements. We demonstrate that the model we construct can be used to assist optical approaches for model capture.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.8 [Computer Graphics]: Applications
