3D modeling using camera

Question

Hi,

I'm looking for a sample code.

It's 3D modeling using camera.

like this: http://mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/~qp202/my_papers/BMVC09/

Hopefully, I want to use c or c++.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You could try contacting the author of the paper to see if he's willing to release his source code to you. It looks like he used CGAL (for the Delauny Tetrahedralisation) so if you go that route, you'll need to get a copy of that.

Answer 2

openCv is probably the easiest place to start.

There are a few chapters about creatign scenes from stereo pairs (which is a bit easier) in the opencv book otherwise 3d models from image understanding is still possible - but a lot harder mathematically.

Answer 3

You may want to check out OpenCV for computer vision functionality and OpenGL for 3D graphics. Both are widely used APIs with plenty of online documentation and examples, both official and third-party.
