Carleton University - School of Computer Science Undergraduate Honours Project Winter 2012 3D Reconstruction From Multiple Kinect Images Abhinav Shukla 
ABSTRACT Creating photorealistic 3D models is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Several techniques have been designed and developed over many years of research. In this project, we apply these concepts to attempt a 3D reconstruction of an indoor environment. In particular, the focus of this project is to simplify the process of reconstruction and develop a simple and non-real-time application using various techniques in image processing and computational geometry. This project utilizes the aid of an external tool, called MeshLab, to help achieve our goals due to the complexity of the task involved. The paper will begin with a brief description of the fundamental theories behind 3D reconstruction, image registration and triangulation while exploring the workings of the Microsoft X-Box 360 Kinect camera. This will be followed by an explanation of the 3D scanning pipeline framework, how it works and some experiments done using the framework. Finally the results of the tests will be presented along with some conclusions, limitations of the project, a description of the concepts learned and potential future work with the framework. |
