3D model from series of images - Photosynth Technology Microsoft.



Hello everyone,
Recently I've found this site and I think some of you migh be
interested in this technology - building a 3D model from a series of
images.

"Today we're releasing our first Technology Preview of Photosynth.
Photosynth combines hundreds or thousands of regular digital photos of
a scene to present a detailed 3D model, giving viewers the sensation of
smoothly gliding around from every angle. The scene can be constructed
regardless of whether the photos are from a single or multiple sources.
It's like a hybrid of a slide show and a gaming experience that lets
the viewer zoom in to see greater detail or zoom out for a more
expansive view. By viewing the photos in a 3D context you are able to
get a better sense for the place where they were captured. Photosynth
is a collaboration between Microsoft and the University of Washington
based on the groundbreaking research of Noah Snavely (UW), Steve Seitz
(UW), and Richard Szeliski (Microsoft Research). To find out more about
how this collaboration came about visit our recently updated Video
section."
