Abstract

A method for 3D reconstruction of an object based on back-scattered and sensed signals, including: generating, from the sensed signals, 3D points to which their back-scattering intensity is respectively assigned, which form a set A of reconstructed data, starting from A, extracting a set B of data, whose points are located within a volume containing the object, as a function of volume characteristics F2, starting from B, extracting a set C of data characterizing the external surface of the object, the surface having regions with missing parts, depending on an extraction criterion, based on C, filling in the regions with missing parts by generation of a three-dimensional surface so as to obtain a set D of completed data of the object, without having to use an external database, and identifying the object based on D.
