We present a technique to obtain texture mapped models of real scenes with a high degree of automation. Only simple equipment is needed: a video camera and an overhead projector. In our method, a user videotapes a scene twice with a hand-held camera. The first time the scene is under natural illumination, and a structure-from-motion technique recovers coarse scene geometry and the texture. The second time a grid of lines is projected onto the scene which allows us to acquire a much denser geometry. The information from both passes is automatically combined and a final model consisting of a dense geometry of the scene and a properly registered texture is created.

Virtual Environments: A hybrid tracking method for surgical augmented reality
Camera pose estimation is one of the most important, but also one of the most challenging tasks in augmented reality. Without a highly accurate estimation of the position and orientation of the digital video camera, it is impossible to render a ...
