Abstract

A process for modeling a 3D scene is provided which comprises validating the model by determining a maximum permitted distortion (5) on a 2D synthesized image (4), generated by the approximation inherent in the model (2); calculating for a point I of a reference image (7) and on a set of synthesized images (4) representing the 3D point of the scene corresponding to this point I, of the minimum (zi−Δzi1) and maximum (zi+Δzi2) depth values of the depth zi of this point I corresponding to this maximum distortion, calculating a span around the depth zi of this point I, dependant on the minimum value of the error Δzi2 and on the minimum value of the error Δzi1 among the values calculated for the synthesized images of the set.
