Abstract
A method uses a collection of photographic images of an object taken from different viewing angles, along with a set of key geographic parameters for each frame of the photo images, to associate with the object's 3D modeling data, which can use for presenting high quality, photo-realistic 3D image in real time at a computing device. It also provides 3D geometry data for physical applications, which uses an automatic or a manual photo-taking system, and the imported 3D modeling data of the same object with the same hardware system or from an independent 3D geometry scanning system, composes these information into a complete package of files by a manual, semi-automatic or automatic software tool, and then to be presented with a viewing program with 3D environment. It can also be extended to the stereoscopic system and offers real time physical manipulation capabilities, the high quality, realistic visual effects.
