Abstract
Previously our 3DSOM software has solved the problem of extracting the object of interest from the scene by allowing the user to cut-out the object shape in several photographs. This is known as manual 'masking'. However, we wish to avoid this step to make the system as easy to use as possible. For an unskilled user the process needs to be as simple to use as possible. We propose a method of extracting a complete closed model of an object without the user being required to do anything other than capture the shots.
