Compact Model Representation for 3D Reconstruction
3D reconstruction from 2D images is a central problem in computer vision.
Recent works have been focusing on reconstruction directly from a single image.
It is well known however that only one image cannot provide enough information
for such a reconstruction. A prior knowledge that has been entertained are 3D
CAD models due to its online ubiquity. A fundamental question is how to
compactly represent millions of CAD models while allowing generalization to new
unseen objects with fine-scaled geometry. We introduce an approach to compactly
represent a 3D mesh. Our method first selects a 3D model from a graph structure
by using a novel free-form deformation FFD 3D-2D registration, and then the
selected 3D model is refined to best fit the image silhouette. We perform a
comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis that demonstrates
impressive dense and realistic 3D reconstruction from single images.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
