Obtaining three-dimensional models of real-world objects is a requirement of many industrial fields.
- Mass production: As the produced parts pass through the production line, they are scanned with a laser and three-dimensional shape information is obtained. Then, by examining the three-dimensional shape information, deformations, therefore, production errors, if any, are detected.
- Mobile devices: Mobile devices detect surfaces that will hinder their movement by scanning their surroundings with lasers and determine their new directions accordingly.
- Health science: When producing a prosthesis for a patient with a missing limb, the most accurate position of the prosthesis in the body and the most appropriate size for the body should be found. For this, the parts of the body related to the prosthesis are scanned with a laser and three-dimensional shape information is obtained.
- Using this shape information, prosthesis is produced in appropriate sizes and presented to the patient’s use.
Three-dimensional (3D) image processing is a method of converting a two-dimensional (2D) image into a 3D image, usually from model creation and display.
Three-dimensional (3D) image processing is a method of converting a two-dimensional (2D) image into a 3D image, usually from model creation and display.
After the model is created, it is rendered and many different 2D views are captured to create the 3D effect.
Entertainment and architecture professionals use 3D image processing to create realistic models for movies and buildings, respectively.
