Extraction of the grey levels from the image

Applications

The 3-D reconstruction process requires no geometrical measurements, therefore this approach is more suitable for reconstruction of those objects that possess intricate texture surfaces such as artwork, human faces or scenery images.

Applications (con.)

Conclusions

The propose technique can convert photographic images automatically into 3-D relief models.

It is simple and useful for reconstruction of virtual stereo images which are same as the original photographs.
