Abstract
In this review, we discuss state-of-the-art developments in 3D models for small and rigid structures. This includes the pros and cons of cutting-edge range cameras used as active 3D scanners, while also considering passive image reconstruction schemes by means of the well-known structure-frommotion (SfM) algorithms. Furthermore, we discuss the issue of how data fusion algorithms can be used to optimally fuse 2D contour information onto 3D models for several different applications. Considering the benefits of 3D range sensors, we also review current trends in optimum data fusion of point clouds from 3D range sensors. We present the benefits and the limitations of each algorithm against various design considerations. To highlight the pros and cons, we also perform a comparative study of the performance of a 3D range sensor, represented by an iPad structure sensor, with respect to the well-known SfM software packages, namely, Bundler, Microsoft PhotoSynth, Agisoft PhotoScan, and Smart3DCapture. Last, we highlight several research opportunities and potential research challenges associated with each technique.
