Photogrammetry and 3-D Scene Reconstruction for Interactive Model-Based Video

Research by Shawn Becker, Ph.D. MIT Media Laboratory, 1997

A semi-automated process
that uses multiple photos of a scene ...


... to quickly create a textured 3-D model ...

... which can be used for interactive model-based video
