Abstract:
3D reconstruction and modeling techniques based on computer vision show a significant improvement in
recent decades. Despite the great variety, a majority of these techniques depend on specific photographic
collections or video footage. For example, most are designed for large data collections, overlapping photos,
captures from turntables or photos with lots of detectable features such as edges. If the input, however, does not
fit the particular specification, most techniques can no longer create reasonable 3D reconstructions. We review
the work in the research area of 3D reconstruction and 3D modeling with a focus on the specific capabilities of
these methods and possible drawbacks. Within this literature review, the practical usability with the focus on
the input data — the collections of photographs or videos — and on the resulting models are discussed. Upon
this basis, we introduce our position of interactive 3D reconstruction and modeling as a possible opportunity of
lifting cur
rent restrictions from these techniques, which leads to the possibility of creating CAD-ready models
in the future.
