Registration and projection of multiple overlapping images on 3D structures

A system that can integrate small pieces of images (taken from a close range) into a composite 3D surface, is developed. The device, along with 3D position/orientation estimation equipment, can be used in different environments for inspection tasks. For example, inspection of hulls of ships anchored at a bay, or examination of interior of pipes and tanks. Experimental results are presented, validating the algorithms developed.<
