A realistic view of 3D models of artifacts using photogrammetric approach

Active research has been going on in both computer vision and computer graphics to have more accurate and more realistic 3D models of an object. Efforts are being made to have a realistic view of an object by texturing it with real images of the object, to have a feel as if it is a real object. A method has been proposed that also makes use of real ortho-mages of the object for texturing. A method has been proposed for an accurate and realistic 3D modeling. In the proposed method first the model of an object will be created using CAD software, by taking manual calculations of its geometry. Then sufficient number of ortho photographs will be taken such that they could cover the whole object. Once the 3D model of an object is reconstructed, the object will be textured map with the real images/photos of the object taken. Then this model can be animated to view the object from any desired viewpoint. The proposed technique is suitable for modeling of an object and its environment.
