Abstract
This work presents a flexible system to reconstruct 3D models of objects captured with an RGB-D sensor. A major advantage of the method is that unlike other modelling tools, our reconstruction pipeline allows the user to acquire a full 3D model of the object. This is achieved by acquiring several partial 3D models in different sessions—each individual session presenting the object of interest in different configurations that reveal occluded parts of the object — that are automatically merged together to reconstruct a full 3D model. In addition, the 3D models acquired by our system can be directly used by state-of-the-art object instance recognition and object tracking modules, providing object-perception capabilities to complex applications requiring these functionalities (e.g. human-object interaction analysis, robot grasping, etc.). The system does not impose constraints in the appearance of objects (textured, untextured) nor in the modelling setup (moving camera with static object or turn-table setups with static camera). The proposed reconstruction system has been used to model a large number of objects resulting in metrically accurate and visually appealing 3D models.
