Abstract
Various embodiments of an interactive system and methods for generating an image-based 3D model of an object from multiple images captured from different viewpoints of the object are described. A user may identify feature curves for the object by outlining the feature curves on a display of the images. The user may outline a feature curve in multiple images which depict the feature curve from different viewpoints. 3D shape constraints for the model may be generated dependent on the identified feature curves and camera parameters for the images. The user may also outline multiple single-view feature curves, such as silhouette curves, in single images. A 3D surface approximation for the model may be generated from the single-view feature curves. The 3D shape constraints and the 3D surface approximation may be used to generate a polygonal mesh which represents the surface of the 3D model of the object.
