Image Based Visual Hull

CGM | Technion - Israel Institute of Technology

   Project Description

This project is based on an article named "Imaged Based Visual Hull", written by Wojciech Matusik, Chris Buehler, Ramesh Raskar, Steven J.Gortler and Leionard McMillan.

The above article deals with “Virtualized Reality”. The term “Virtualized Reality” describes a setting where a real world scene is “captured” by a collection of cameras and then viewed through a virtual camera.
The article consists of three major themes: creating a Visual Hull, shadowing a Visual Hull and creating a real time video flow, based on a Visual Hull.

The project concentrates on the creation of a Visual Hull, a 3D hull, which encloses a given object.
This hull is reconstructed from different silhouettes of the original object.
