Abstract

Laser scanners are popular tools for acquiring a digital model of a real object. To achieve a realistic appearance the model needs to incorporate surface colour information in addition to the geometry. The task of mapping photos onto a 3D object is often referred to as texture mapping. This paper investigates the texturing of 3D surface models obtained with a FastSCANtrade hand-held laser scanner. The texture mapping algorithm starts with a triangle mesh of an object of interest and a set of images of the same object. The complete solution incorporates texture mapping, texture blending and texture packing.
