Abstract
This paper presents a new and general solution to the problem of
range view integration. The integration problem consists in computing a
connected surface model from a set of registered range images acquired
from different viewpoints. The proposed method does not impose
constraints on the topology of the observed surfaces, the position of
the viewpoints, or the number of views that can be merged. The
integrated surface model is piecewise estimated by a set of
triangulations modeling each canonical subset of the Venn diagram of the
set of range views. The connection of these local models by constrained
Delaunay triangulations yields g non-redundant surface triangulation
describing all surface elements sampled by the set of range views.
Experimental results show that the integration technique can be used to
build connected surface models of free-form objects. No integrated
models built from objects of such complexity have yet been reported in
the literature, It is assumed that accurate range views are available
and that frame transformations between all pairs of views can be
reliably computed
