Abstract.

This paper introduces a stereo vision system to automatically generate 3D models of real objects. 3D model generation is based on the merging of multiview range images obtained from a digital stereo camera. Stereo images obtained from the camera are rectified, and a correlation-based stereo matching technique reconstructs range images from them. A turntable stage is also employed to obtain multiple range images of the objects. To register range images into a common coordinate system automatically, we introduce and calibrate a turntable coordinate system with respect to the camera coordinate system. After the registration of multiview range images, a 3D model is reconstructed using a volumetric integration technique. Error analysis on turntable calibration and 3D model reconstruction shows the accuracy of our 3D modeling system.
