Three-dimensional model construction from multiview range images: survey with new results

Abstract Construction of three-dimensional (3-D) models from multiview range images involves three general steps: (1) image integration, (2) recovery of missing data, and (3) model representation and editing. Literature related to these three steps are reviewed and new results in data recovery and model editing are presented. Examples demonstrating different steps of the model construction process are also given using range images from a variety applications.
