Abstract

We describe a geometric approach for reconstructing 3D textured graphical models of surfaces of revolution (SOR) from a single uncalibrated view. Metric reconstruction of 3D shape is complemented with the extraction of flattened 2D texture, so as to support visual retrieval from 2D/3D cues and to generate realistic 3D visualization models. The approach developed is quite simple, yet accurate and robust; its applications range from the preservation, analysis and classification of cultural heritage, to advanced graphics and multimedia.
