Summary on Grant Application Form |

This project involves interpreting the clouds of 3D surface points derived from close photogrammetry, mainly for the animation of human subjects. The research question we are addressing is that of establishing how to reinterpret the point cloud data in a fashion which fits its ultimate use, i.e. using prior knowledge of the object, features on the object, or characteristics of usable models.There remains a gap that must be bridged between gathering the raw point-cloud and texture information which defines the shape and appearance of an object or person and creating a fully usable model. We aimed to bridge this gap, by 1, modelling the external appearance of human subjects from all-round body data. 2, feature-oriented surface modelling for CAD/CAM-based reverse engineering, and 3 user-determined surface reinterpretation for CAM or medical applications. We expect that similar functionality will be required for each of these.We aim to create synthetic human characters that are as indistinguishable form their real counterparts as we are able, giving the same emotional and psychological impact as viewing the original person. This should not be confused with lower-resolution approaches to capturing synthetic humans.
