ERSO-acquisition, reconstruction and simulation of real objects

A basic system for the acquisition, reconstruction and simulation of real objects (ERSO) is presented. The authors' approach is to combine the knowledge of different research areas as photogrammetric, computer graphics and computer vision to develop new techniques for generating three-dimensional models from images. The first two sections give an introduction and overview of the system architecture. The following sections describe in more detail the different parts of the reconstruction process.
