Improved 3D modeling using multistage feature extraction and matching

Abstract

Recovering a complete, detailed, accurate and realistic 3D model from images is still a difficult task. This paper proposes an improved 3D modeling using multistage feature extraction and matching. A 3D modeling technique is applied based on the features extracted from images of the same scene taken from different directions. Matching of the images are used to construct the 3D model. Using multistage features extraction and matching algorithms, multiple 3D models can be obtained. This paper will focus on modeling from reality rather than computer graphics creation of artificial world models. Experimental results are illustrated to explore the effectiveness of the proposed method.
