Virtual 3D objects modeling: axial symmetry objects case study

This is paper describe a new method to built up a 3D geometrical model of objects from a single image. This method is based on a new concept, namely cylindrical projective geometry. This geometry enables one to compute automatically the shape of objects with axial symmetry using only one image of the object without any knowledge about the camera used. The mathematics of the concept are shown as well as their use in the modeling process. Some results are presented to show the efficiency and accuracy of our method.
