Structure from Motion: Turntable Based Reconstruction

Abstract

In this paper I explore the possibility of using a camera, a turntable, and a computer in place of a 3D-scanner in order to acquire usable 3D models of small objects. By using a basic Structure From Motion approach, I will show that it can easily be adapted to produce decent 3D models, with little to no user input, as long as the objects are sufficiently textured.
