Methodology for 3D reconstruction of objects for teaching virtual restoration

In this paper, we propose a methodology for 3D virtual reconstruction of objects that can be applied to virtual restoration. The methodology is based on an image-based modelling technique and allows generating a textured 3D mesh from a set of images. The proposed methodology consists in the following actions: obtain images of the object, processing of the images, 3D reconstruction of the object, finishing and completing details, restoration of the 3D virtual model. First, we review several frameworks and toolkits that can be used for image-based modelling and then a detail example of 3D reconstruction is presented. The advantage of this methodology for 3D virtual reconstruction is the use of inexpensive equipment, because only common video and computing devices are needed.
