Image-Based Modeling Techniques for Architectural Heritage 3d Digitalization: Limits and Potentialities

Abstract

ABSTRACT:3D reconstruction from images has undergone a revolution in the last few years. Computer vision techniques use photographs from data set collection to rapidly build detailed 3D models. The simultaneous applications of different algorithms (MVS), the different techniques of image matching, feature extracting and mesh optimization are inside an active field of research in computer vision. The results are promising: the obtained models are beginning to challenge the precision of laser-based reconstructions. Among all the possibilities we can mainly distinguish desktop and web-based packages. Those last ones offer the opportunity to exploit the power of cloud computing in order to carry out a semi-automatic data processing, thus allowing the user to fulfill other tasks on its computer; whereas desktop systems employ too much processing time and hard heavy approaches. Computer vision researchers have explored many applications to verify the visual accuracy of 3D model but the approaches to verify metric accuracy are few and no one is on Autodesk 123D Catch applied on Architectural Heritage Documentation. Our approach to this challenging problem is to compare the 3Dmodels by Autodesk 123D Catch and 3D models by terrestrial LIDAR considering different object size, from the detail (capitals, moldings, bases) to large scale buildings for practitioner purpose.* Corresponding author.

Image Based 3D Reconstruction of Texture-less Objects for VR Contents

“…This technique has been improving rapidly in diverse applications such as in medicines for accurate investigation of scoliosis torso [9], in the industry for reverse engineering, and 3D printing of manmade and natural objects [10]. This technique usually drives to high quality results but it reaches its limitations when subjects under consideration are identical or textureless [11].…”

“…This is one of the classical problems in computer vision and broad literature exists [11]. When the surface of the interesting object is smooth and weakly textured, the SfM step in the implemented algorithm designed to find correspondences between pairs of images, faces difficulties.…”

Combining Public Domain and Professional Panoramic Imagery for the Accurate and Dense 3d Reconstruction of the Destroyed Bel Temple in Palmyra

“…Koutsoudis et al (2014), for example, provide a good overview of Structure-From-Motion (SfM) and Dense MultiView 3D Reconstruction (DMVR) algorithms and of results obtainable with imagery from (semi-) professional DSLR cameras. and Santagati et al (2013) specifically investigate the accuracy potential of image-based 3d reconstructions by comparing their results with terrestrial LiDAR reference data sets. Alsadik et al (2014) furthermore describe methods for automatically designing minimal networks for the 3d modelling of cultural heritage.…”
