Abstract:


    Objects with mirroring surfaces are left out of the scope of most recent 3D scanning methods. We developed a new acquisition approach, shape-from-distortion, that focuses on that category of objects, requires only a still camera and a monitor, and generates high quality range scans (plus a normal field). Our contributions are a novel acquisition technique based on environment matting [Chuang et al. 2000] and corresponding geometry reconstruction method that recovers a very precise geometry model for mirroring objects.
