Shape Capture Assisted by Traditional Tools

We present new techniques for capturing the shape of physical objects using simple tools. From a set of caliper distance measurements between object points, we reconstruct a three dimensional structure. We show that we can refine the model using planar contours obtained with a gage that are placed in three dimensions using the caliper measurements. We demonstrate that the model we construct can be used to assist optical approaches for model capture.
