3-D model reconstruction from three orthogonal views based on merging technique of RP codes

A new merging technique is adopted for combining rectangular parallelepipeds produced by 2-D rectangular code based 3-D volume representation into more intuitive 3-D elements. We modified 2-D rectangular coding scheme in order that each RP code has more regularity in merging procedure. RP codes are converted to the boundary representation to represent a 3-D object more flexibly. The modification of 2-D rectangular code facilitates us to perform merging process more easily in two directions.
