Interactive acquisition of the physical world

This proposal describes a research program which will investigate and develop novel methods for the acquisition of physical models of our environment. Increasingly, consumer applications on game consoles to cell phones utilize 3D models because of the ubiquity of performance graphics hardware. The computational power in displaying 3D models is currently not supported by an efficient process to acquire these physical models. Automatic model acquisition methods are often still too cumbersome, too specific and their results are hard to control. Most models to date are created by artists. Artistic modelling is suitable for characters in entertainment, games and advertising, but is inefficient for large-scale models and does not result in accurate physical models.
