Laser scanning range sensors are widely used for high-precision, high-density three-
dimensional (3D) reconstruction and inspection of the surface of physical objects. The …

We review 20 years of development in the field of 3-D laser imaging. An overview of 3-D
digitizing techniques is presented with an emphasis on commercial techniques and systems …

This paper quickly reviews 20 years of development in the field of 3D laser imaging. An
overview of 3D digitizing techniques is presented with an emphasis on some of the …

Three‐dimensional (3D) image acquisition systems are rapidly becoming more affordable,
especially systems based on commodity electronic cameras. At the same time, personal …

In this paper, we present an approach to color image understanding that can be used to
segment and analyze surfaces with color variations due to highlights and shading. The work …

In this paper we present a method for recovering the reflectance properties of all surfaces in
a real scene from a sparse set of photographs, taking into account both direct and indirect …

An object model for computer graphics applications should contain two aspects of
information: shape and reflectance properties of the object. A number of techniques have …

Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects
that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed …

The determination of relative pose between two range images, also called registration, is a
ubiquitous problem in computer vision, for geometric model building as well as dimensional …

Creating realistic images has been a major focus in the study of computer graphics for much
of its history. This effort has led to mathematical models and algorithms that can compute …
