Outline of Final Research Achievements

Flowers are indispensable for designing natural CG scenes, and thus flower modeling is an important topic in the computer graphics (CG) field. However, flowers often have highly occluded structures, and thus traditional measurement techniques, such as stereo vision and range scanners, are difficult to apply. In this project, we adopt X-ray computed tomography (CT) and photographs. We capture a CT volumes of a sample flower and reconstruct a 3D model by segmenting the volume. We also reconstruct a surface texture of the flower model by using photographs taken from multiple viewpoints. Our research papers were accepted for top conferences in the CG field.
