Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Recent research has achieved automatic reconstruction of realistic 3D models from surface measurements of static objects and environments. Currently captured object models are represented as dense unstructured polygonal meshes. Direct application of unstructured meshes for computer generated imagery is prohibitively expensive. The proposed research addresses the automatic reconstruction of functional models which are optimised according to the requirements of a particular application. Functional requirements include realistic and efficient representation of the development of techniques to enable automatic reconstruction of functional models of real objects suitable for realistic computer generated imagery. Applications include realistic object modelling for virtual environment, animation and Internet transmission. In particular application of this research will be based on existing expertise in capturing 3D models of complex organic objects and internal environments.
