Geometry and texture recovery of scenes of large scale: Integration of range and intensity sensing.

摘要

This thesis is a systematic approach to the problem of photo-realistic 3-D model acquisition from the combination of range and image sensing. A comprehensive and unique system has been developed in the context of this thesis. This system provides 3-D models of urban scenes with associated 2-D image textures. Our input is a sequence of unregistered range scans of the scene and a sequence of unregistered 2-D photographs of the same scene. Our output is a true texture-mapped geometric CAD model of the scene.
