I spent 6 months in Japan working for Toshiba Corporation. Although
the main office of Toshiba was in Tokyo, I was assigned to a new
research center in Kobe where Toshiba was studying the technologies of
tomorrow. The Kansai Research Laboratory was involved in all kinds of
basic research including speech recognition, robotics, image processing
and 3D modeling.
After spending some time working on reconstruction of 3D shapes from
laser scans, I started focusing on reconstructing 3D shapes from simple
photographs. In the end I developed a system that would take images of
an object placed on a turntable. From these images,
the system would reconstruct the 3D shape and create a model that could
be used for 3D modeling.
These pictures show examples of the results. The top
line shows the original images, and the bottom line shows the 3D models.
