3D Shape Capture for Archiving and Animation

This paper presents a novel model-based framework for rapid transformation of captured surface shape into a structured representation suitable for efficient storage, transmission, manipulated, visualization and animation. Captured surface shape can be derived from either active 3D sensors or passive reconstruction from multiple view images and video. Results are presented for archiving of historical artifacts and production of animated models of real people in a multiple camera studio.
