Constructing 3D model based on panoramic images

Abstract

Constructing a 3D model usually needs professional graphic technology and scanning equipment. This often in vast time consumption and high costing budgets. To solve the problem of high cost and complicated process, a simple, fast and low cost method is proposed. Firstly take images with 360 degree panorama of the object that is going to be modeled. Then update the image set to the database in the cloud. With the powerful cloud technology and computing power, the image set will be transformed to realistic 3D model that can be downloaded by clients. Professional modeling technique of users is no need for this method. To get a realistic 3D model all we need to do is just taking panoramic images of the object and finish few steps of simple settings. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
