3D reconstruction
3D reconstruction is the process of creating a three-dimensional model of an object or scene from two-dimensional images or sensor data. It serves as the foundational technology for spatial computing, computer vision, and augmented reality.
Core Concepts
- Geometry: Reconstructing the shape and structure of objects.
- Photogrammetry: Deriving 3D measurements from photographs.
- SLAM: Simultaneous Localization and Mapping for real-time spatial awareness.
- Point Clouds: Sets of data points in space used to represent external surfaces.
