3D Challenges and a Non-In-Depth Overview of Recent Progress

Although a lot of effort already went into the development of 3D acquisition technology, and existing methods come of age, several challenges remain. We try to give a - probably incomplete - overview of these. Then, some of our recent work at ETH Zurich and the University of Leuven is discussed, where we try to tackle such outstanding issues.
