What? • SPStudio • Tool to gather 3D data from digital photographs. • Stereo Photogrammetry • Give a computer depth perception. • Stereo Correspondence • The use of 2D image data to determine a point’s location in 3D space. • Volumetric Reverse Multiple Correspondence Algorithm • Finds corresponding volume. • Takes a point in 3D space and determines its location within the images.
Functions • Save progress at any time • Fully graphical • View finalized data set • Estimated time of algorithm completion • Change image file associations any time before the algorithm is run • Change camera information at any time before the algorithm is run • Produce a 3D data set that is a reasonable representation of the object captured in the photos • Provide a multiple document interface environment
Specifications • Development Environment • Visual Studio .NET 2003 • C# • Minimum System Requirements • .NET Runtime Environment • 256 MB RAM • 1.2 GHz processor • 32 MB accelerated graphics card with OpenGL support
Why? • Current Modeling Methods • Require a degree in themselves • Vertex by vertex data entry • Geometric primitive data entry • SPStudio • User-friendly • Quick • No artistic ability required • Inexpensive
Who? • Students • Weekend programmers • New companies • The artistically or financially challenged
How? • Current Algorithms • Object Specific • Large amount of user input • High risk of bad data entry • Volumetric Reverse Multiple Correspondence Algorithm • Given a volume in 3D space, does this volume correspond to the volume of the object photographed? • Small and simple data input • Lower chance of bad data entry
Algorithm Data Input • User takes photographs of object • Must be same distance from object • First photo is the reference photo and is treated as taken from 0 degrees • Each photo after that must be assigned a degree with regard to the reference photo (clockwise rotation of object)
Where’s the “any” key? • I am a user. You are and application. I shall destroy you! • I will enter a word when you ask for a number. • I will enter a document when you ask for an image. • I will do everything you do not want me to do.
Are we there yet? • Current Issues • Refresh fault due to C#’s component threading system.
Finalizing • Record the intersection data from the 4 shift voxel data sets in a simple format
Issues During Development • Having a working prototype doesn’t mean you are almost done! • It is hard to be a developer and think like a user. • Pass by reference decreases memory usage and increases aspirin usage.
