Abstract

A method and an apparatus for constructing a three-dimensional (3D) model of an object are provided. The method includes capturing images of the object by scanning the object along a trajectory around the object, estimating positions of a scanner, which respectively correspond to the captured images, refining the estimated positions of the scanner based on at least two locations on the trajectory, estimating depth maps corresponding to the refined positions of the scanner, generating a surface mesh of the object by fusing the depth maps, and constructing and displaying the 3D model of the object by mapping textures onto the generated surface mesh.
