Student research opportunities
3D Modelling from a hand-held web-camera
Project Code: CECS_626
This project is available at the following levels:
Honours, Summer Scholar, Masters, PhD
Keywords:
Computer vision, image processing, 3d modelling
Supervisor:
Dr Hongdong LiOutline:
In this project, you will be studying how to build a complete software system to reconstruct static 3D scene from a handheld web-camera.
The system will be able to deal with uncalibrated image sequences acquired from the webcam. Based on tracked or matched features the relations between multiple views are computed.
From this both the structure of the scene and the motion of the camera are retrieved. The ambiguity on the reconstruction is restricted from projective to metric through self-calibration. From the computed data different types of 3D models are constructed.
(For details, please check out the IJCV paper listed below.)
